How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability stems from improper handling of the ‘admin_password’ argument in the /admin/admin_login_process.php file. An attacker can manipulate this argument to perform SQL injection, which may allow them to execute arbitrary SQL commands in the application’s database. This could lead to unauthorized access, modification, or deletion of data, or potentially even full system compromise.

Conceptual Example Code

Consider the following
conceptual
example of a crafted HTTP POST request that exploits this vulnerability:

POST /admin/admin_login_process.php HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
admin_password=1' OR '1'='1';--

In this example, the ‘admin_password’ parameter is manipulated to always return true, which could allow an attacker to bypass authentication checks.

Mitigation Guidance

A vendor patch should be applied to mitigate this vulnerability. In the absence of a patch, or as a temporary measure, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used to detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability. Regularly updating and patching your systems, along with following standard security practices such as least privilege, can help protect your systems from such vulnerabilities.
