How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability occurs due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command in Azora Wireless Network Management. In other words, the software does not adequately sanitize user-supplied input before using it in an SQL query. This allows an attacker to manipulate SQL queries and control the database operation, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification, or even deletion of data.
Conceptual Example Code
An attacker might exploit the vulnerability by sending a malicious SQL command in a request as shown in the conceptual example below.
POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
username=administrator' OR '1'='1'; -- &password=123456In this conceptual example, the malicious SQL command ‘OR ‘1’=’1′ effectively bypasses any password checks and could potentially grant the attacker administrative access.
Recommendations
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the latest patches provided by the vendor once they become available. In the meantime, users can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary measure to prevent exploitation. Regularly auditing and monitoring system logs for any signs of unauthorized access or suspicious activities is also recommended.
Please note that this post will be updated as soon as new information about the patch or other mitigation methods becomes available.
