CVE-2024-4794: Campcodes Laundry Management System SQLI

CVE-2024-4794 Overview

CVE-2024-4794 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes Online Laundry Management System 1.0. The flaw resides in the /manage_receiving.php script, where the id parameter is passed directly to a database query without sanitization. An authenticated remote attacker can manipulate the parameter to inject arbitrary SQL statements. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of opportunistic attacks against exposed installations. The weakness is tracked as CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command.

Critical Impact
Remote attackers with low-privilege access can read, alter, or delete records in the application database through the vulnerable id parameter in /manage_receiving.php.

Affected Products

Campcodes Online Laundry Management System 1.0

Technical Details for CVE-2024-4794

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability affects the receiving management functionality of Campcodes Online Laundry Management System 1.0. The manage_receiving.php endpoint accepts an id parameter from the request and concatenates it into a SQL query without parameterization or input validation. Attackers can supply crafted values, such as boolean or UNION-based payloads, to alter the intended query logic. A public proof of concept is available on GitHub, which lowers the technical barrier to exploitation. Successful exploitation may allow enumeration of database schemas, extraction of stored credentials, and modification of records tied to laundry orders and customer data.

Root Cause

The root cause is the direct use of untrusted user input in a dynamic SQL statement. The id argument is not validated as an integer, escaped, or bound as a prepared statement parameter. This coding pattern is characteristic of [CWE-89] and is common across legacy PHP applications that build queries through string concatenation.

Attack Vector

Exploitation occurs over the network against the web application. An attacker requires an authenticated session at low privilege level, then issues an HTTP request to /manage_receiving.php with a manipulated id value. No user interaction is required beyond the attacker's own request. Because the proof of concept is public, automated scanners and opportunistic actors may include this endpoint in scanning templates.

The vulnerability is demonstrated in the referenced proof of concept writeup, which details the injectable request pattern against the id parameter. No verified exploit code is reproduced here.

Detection Methods for CVE-2024-4794

Indicators of Compromise

HTTP requests to /manage_receiving.php containing SQL metacharacters in the id parameter, such as single quotes, UNION SELECT, SLEEP(, or comment sequences like -- and #.
Web server logs showing unusually long or encoded id values, or repeated requests with incrementing payload variations from a single source.
Database error messages returned to clients referencing MySQL syntax errors tied to the receiving module.

Detection Strategies

Deploy signature-based web application firewall rules that inspect the id parameter on /manage_receiving.php for SQL injection patterns.
Correlate authenticated session activity with anomalous query patterns and error responses at the database layer.
Baseline expected request rates to the receiving endpoint and alert on deviations consistent with automated fuzzing.

Monitoring Recommendations

Enable verbose HTTP access logging on the PHP application server and forward logs to a centralized analytics platform for query pattern analysis.
Monitor the MySQL error log for repeated syntax errors originating from the laundry management application.
Track outbound connections and file writes from the web server user account, since SQL injection can lead to secondary payload staging.

How to Mitigate CVE-2024-4794

Immediate Actions Required

Restrict network access to the Campcodes Online Laundry Management System to trusted internal ranges until a patched version is available.
Rotate any credentials, session tokens, or API keys stored in the application database, as they must be considered exposed.
Review web server and database logs for prior exploitation attempts against /manage_receiving.php.

Patch Information

No vendor patch has been published in the referenced advisories at the time of writing. Monitor the VulDB entry for VDB-263893 and the Campcodes vendor site for future updates. Until a fix is issued, treat all deployments of version 1.0 as vulnerable.

Workarounds

Place the application behind a web application firewall with rules that block SQL injection patterns targeting the id parameter.
Modify manage_receiving.php to cast the id value to an integer and use prepared statements with bound parameters before executing the query.
Enforce least-privilege database accounts so the application user cannot read from sensitive tables or execute administrative statements.
Disable or remove the receiving management module if it is not required for business operations.
