Description Preview

SEMCMS SHOP version 1.1 contains a SQL Injection vulnerability in the Ant_Info.php file. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code that can be executed by the application's database. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers could potentially access, modify, or delete sensitive data in the database, bypass authentication mechanisms, or execute unauthorized database commands.

Overview

This vulnerability (CVE-2021-38730) is classified as CWE-89, which is SQL Injection. The issue exists in the Ant_Info.php file of SEMCMS SHOP v1.1, where user input is not properly validated or sanitized before being used in SQL queries. Attackers can craft special inputs containing SQL syntax that alters the intended query logic, allowing them to manipulate the database in unauthorized ways. SQL Injection vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous as they can lead to complete database compromise, data theft, or system takeover.

Remediation

To address this vulnerability, system administrators and developers should:

  1. Update to the latest version of SEMCMS SHOP if a patched version is available.
  2. Implement proper input validation and sanitization for all user inputs.
  3. Use parameterized queries or prepared statements instead of directly embedding user input into SQL queries.
  4. Apply the principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the application.
  5. Consider implementing a web application firewall (WAF) that can detect and block SQL injection attempts.
  6. Regularly audit code for security vulnerabilities, particularly focusing on database interactions.
