CVE-2022-44277: n/a in n/a
Sanitization Management System v1.0 is vulnerable to SQL Injection via /php-sms/classes/Master.php?f=delete_product.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2022-44277 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Sanitization Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the PHP script located at /php-sms/classes/Master.php, specifically in the 'delete_product' function or parameter. SQL Injection (CWE-89) occurs when untrusted input is improperly sanitized and directly incorporated into SQL queries, allowing an attacker to manipulate the database queries executed by the application. In this case, the vulnerability allows an attacker with high privileges (PR:H) to remotely exploit the system over the network (AV:N) without requiring user interaction (UI:N). The attack complexity is low (AC:L), meaning no special conditions are needed beyond the required privileges. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), enabling attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data, or disrupt system operations. Although the vendor and product details are unspecified, the affected system is a Sanitization Management System, likely used to manage cleaning or sanitation operations, potentially in healthcare, manufacturing, or facility management sectors. No patches or known exploits in the wild have been reported as of the publication date (December 2022). The vulnerability was reserved by MITRE on October 30, 2022, and is enriched by CISA, indicating recognition by US cybersecurity authorities. The absence of vendor information and patches suggests this may be a niche or less widely known product, but the impact of exploitation remains significant due to the nature of SQL Injection attacks and the high privileges required to exploit it.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the exploitation of CVE-2022-44277 could lead to severe consequences. Given the vulnerability allows high-privilege attackers to perform SQL Injection, attackers could exfiltrate sensitive data, alter or delete critical records, or cause denial of service by corrupting database contents. Organizations relying on Sanitization Management Systems for compliance with hygiene standards, especially in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, food production, or public facilities, could face operational disruptions and regulatory penalties under GDPR if personal or sensitive data is compromised. The integrity of sanitation records is crucial for audits and safety compliance; manipulation could lead to false reporting and increased health risks. Additionally, availability impacts could halt sanitation workflows, affecting business continuity. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially if attackers discover or develop exploits independently. European organizations with complex IT environments and interconnected systems may experience cascading effects if this system integrates with other critical infrastructure.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint (/php-sms/classes/Master.php?f=delete_product) to only trusted, authenticated users with necessary privileges, ideally through network segmentation and firewall rules. 2. Conduct a thorough code review and implement proper input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to eliminate SQL Injection vulnerabilities. 3. If source code modification is not immediately feasible, deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL Injection payloads targeting the specific endpoint. 4. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable function. 5. Since no official patch is available, engage with the vendor or community to obtain or develop a secure update. 6. Perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on database interactions. 7. Educate privileged users on secure credential management and limit the number of users with high privileges to reduce exploitation risk. 8. Implement database activity monitoring to detect and respond to suspicious queries in real-time. 9. Backup databases regularly and verify restoration procedures to mitigate potential data loss from exploitation.
