Title:
Exploitation of SQL Injection in E-Commerce Portals: A Case Study of inurl:index.php?id=1 shop portable
Abstract
Brief overview of SQL injection, how Google dorks uncover vulnerable shopping sites, the risk to portable goods retailers, and mitigation strategies.
Consider a URL:
https://vulnerable-shop.com/index.php?id=1 inurl index php id 1 shop portable
Behind the scenes, the PHP code might be:
$id = $_GET['id'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = $id";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
If the developer does not sanitize $id, an attacker could change the URL to: Title: Exploitation of SQL Injection in E-Commerce Portals:
index.php?id=1 UNION SELECT username, password FROM users
This could return admin credentials from the database — a catastrophic breach. If the developer does not sanitize $id ,
index.php is the default file name for the entry point of countless PHP-based websites. It is the backbone of many content management systems (CMS) and e-commerce platforms like Joomla, Drupal, OpenCart, and legacy custom scripts.
Ensure id is an integer before using it in a query.
if (filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'id', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT))
$id = $_GET['id'];
else
die("Invalid ID");
Even with UUIDs, always verify that the logged-in user has permission to access the requested record. Example:
if ($product['user_id'] !== $_SESSION['user_id'])
die("Unauthorized access.");
