Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

SI-10 directly prevents SQL injection by validating and sanitizing the 'pagedescription' parameter before incorporation into SQL queries.

prevent

SI-2 requires timely remediation of the specific SQL injection flaw in 101news admin/aboutus.php through patching or compensating controls.

prevent

SI-9 mitigates SQL injection by restricting the 'pagedescription' parameter to safe input types, lengths, and formats.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1213.006 Databases Collection
Adversaries may leverage databases to mine valuable information.
Why these techniques?

SQL injection in a remotely accessible web application component directly enables T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) for unauthenticated initial access; arbitrary query execution also directly facilitates T1213.006 (Data from Information Repositories: Databases) for data exfiltration or modification.

Confidence: HIGH · MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise v18.1

NVD Description
