Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Configuration

    Perform server-side validation of the num_id parameter: ensure it is an integer within expected bounds and reject or sanitize any non-numeric or out-of-range input before using it.

    itsourcecode Electronic Judging System (admin/edit_team.php) num_id input validation = strict numeric validation / sanitization
  2. Configuration

    Replace any SQL string interpolation that uses num_id with parameterized queries or prepared statements (or stored procedures) so that user-supplied num_id cannot alter SQL syntax.

    itsourcecode Electronic Judging System (admin/edit_team.php) database query handling = use parameterized queries / prepared statements
  3. Compensating control

    Restrict access to the /admin/ area (including edit_team.php) to trusted administrators only (for example via IP allowlist, VPN, or network segmentation) and deploy a WAF or IDS/IPS rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the num_id parameter.

  4. Operational

    Audit logs and application state for signs of exploitation (access to edit_team.php, suspicious queries, new/modified files, webshells). Investigate and remediate any compromise found (remove backdoors, restore from clean backups) and rotate any credentials or secrets that may have been exposed. Monitor vendor advisories and apply vendor fixes when they become available.
