parameter to extract database table names and sensitive information from the database.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly prevents SQL injection by requiring validation and sanitization of untrusted inputs like the ID parameter in wcategory.php.

SI-9 Information Input Restrictions good match
prevent

Restricts the ID parameter to safe classes such as numeric values, blocking SQL injection payloads in GET requests.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Mandates timely remediation of the specific SQL injection flaw in Silurus Classifieds Script 2.0 via patching or code corrections.
