Most likely attack path

Who is most exposed

Detection ideas

• Logs show anomalous requests to search_product.php with suspicious group_id values or SQL-like payloads.
• SQL error messages or database latency spikes tied to the endpoint.
• WAF/IPS alerts for SQL injection patterns targeting the parameter.
• Repeated access from unfamiliar IPs attempting unauthenticated access to admin paths.
• Unusual data access patterns or unexpected data dumps from product-related tables.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply vendor patch or upgrade to an fixed release; verify with testing before production.
• Enforce parameterised queries and input validation; disable unfiltered direct DB access from web app components.
• Implement a web application firewall with SQLi rules; tune to reduce false positives but retain protection.
• Restrict the web app’s DB user privileges to the minimum required; remove unnecessary admin-facing access.
• Schedule rapid-change patching and monitor post-deployment logs closely; initiate backup verification and incident response planning as a precaution.
