Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires validation and sanitization of untrusted inputs such as the ID argument passed to /ajax.php?action=save_deductions, blocking the SQL injection vector before it reaches the database.
Boundary-protection mechanisms such as a WAF or application firewall can inspect and drop remote requests containing SQL metacharacters targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
Continuous monitoring of application and database logs can identify anomalous SQL syntax or error patterns indicative of attempted injection against save_deductions.
