How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability occurs due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, often known as ‘SQL Injection’. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted SQL queries to the application. These queries can manipulate the database, leading to unauthorized read or write access, data corruption, or even complete system compromise in severe cases.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. In this case, an attacker sends a malicious SQL query that is designed to bypass the application’s authentication mechanism:
POST /login HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
username=admin' OR '1'='1&password=passIn the above request, the username parameter value contains a SQL statement that will always evaluate to true. This can trick the application into logging the attacker in without knowing the actual credentials.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, Yordam Informatics has released a patch for version 21.7 of Yordam Library Automation System. All users are strongly encouraged to apply this patch immediately. In cases where immediate patching is not feasible, a temporary mitigation can be achieved through the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and block SQL Injection attempts. However, this should be considered only as a temporary solution until the patch can be applied.
