CVE-2024-4795 Overview
CVE-2024-4795 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes Online Laundry Management System 1.0. The flaw resides in the /manage_user.php script, where the id parameter is passed to a database query without proper sanitization. An authenticated remote attacker can manipulate this parameter to inject arbitrary SQL statements. The vulnerability was published on May 14, 2024, and assigned identifier VDB-263894. A public exploit is disclosed, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic attacks against exposed installations.
Critical Impact
Remote attackers with low privileges can inject SQL through the id parameter of /manage_user.php to read, modify, or delete database contents.
Affected Products
- Campcodes Online Laundry Management System 1.0
- Component: manage_user.php
- CPE: cpe:2.3:a:campcodes:online_laundry_management_system:1.0

Technical Details for CVE-2024-4795
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw classified under [CWE-89] (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). The affected endpoint /manage_user.php accepts an id parameter that is concatenated directly into a SQL statement. Because input is not parameterized or escaped, attackers can break out of the query context and append additional SQL clauses.
The attack is network-accessible and requires only low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the underlying database are all affected, though at a limited scope. The EPSS probability of exploitation is 0.835%, indicating measurable but not widespread activity.
Root Cause
The root cause is the absence of prepared statements or input validation on the id parameter within manage_user.php. User-supplied data flows directly into a dynamically constructed SQL query. This pattern allows crafted input to alter query logic.
Attack Vector
An attacker sends an HTTP request to /manage_user.php with a manipulated id parameter containing SQL syntax. Typical payloads use UNION-based or boolean-based techniques to extract data from application tables, including user credentials. The exploit has been disclosed publicly, and a proof of concept is available in the GitHub PoC Repository.
See the VulDB #263894 entry for additional technical details on the exploitation path.
Detection Methods for CVE-2024-4795
Indicators of Compromise
- HTTP requests to /manage_user.php containing SQL metacharacters such as ', --, UNION, SELECT, or SLEEP( in the id parameter.
- Web server logs showing repeated requests to manage_user.php with unusually long or encoded id values.
- Database error messages returned to clients when accessing the manage_user endpoint.
Detection Strategies
- Deploy web application firewall rules that inspect the id parameter on manage_user.php for SQL injection signatures.
- Enable verbose access logging on the web server and monitor for anomalous parameter values or response size deltas.
- Correlate authentication events with subsequent database anomalies to identify post-authentication injection activity.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Forward web server and database logs to a centralized analytics platform for query pattern analysis.
- Alert on outbound data volumes originating from the application database that exceed baseline thresholds.
- Track authenticated sessions that access manage_user.php with parameter mutations across short intervals.
How to Mitigate CVE-2024-4795
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict network access to the Online Laundry Management System until a fix is applied, limiting exposure to trusted networks only.
- Audit application and database logs for indicators of prior exploitation of /manage_user.php.
- Rotate credentials stored within the application database if compromise is suspected.
Patch Information
No vendor patch is referenced in the available advisory data. Campcodes has not published a fixed version for Online Laundry Management System 1.0. Operators should track vendor communications and consider replacing the application if a maintained fork is unavailable.
Workarounds
- Place the application behind a web application firewall with SQL injection rules enabled for the id parameter.
- Modify manage_user.php to use parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions with id.
- Enforce strict server-side input validation, accepting only numeric values for the id parameter and rejecting all other input.
# Example WAF rule pattern for blocking SQLi against manage_user.php
# ModSecurity-style pseudo-rule
SecRule REQUEST_URI "@contains /manage_user.php" \
"chain,deny,status:403,id:1004795,msg:'CVE-2024-4795 SQLi attempt'"
SecRule ARGS:id "@rx (?i)(union|select|sleep\(|--|')"
