2. Restrict network access to /OnlineClassroom/updatedetailsfromfaculty.php via WAF rules blocking requests with special SQL characters in fname parameter
3. Implement input validation: whitelist only alphanumeric characters and safe delimiters for fname parameter
4. Enable SQL query logging and monitoring for suspicious patterns
COMPENSATING CONTROLS:
5. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns (UNION, SELECT, DROP, etc.)
6. Apply parameterized queries/prepared statements if source code access available
7. Implement database user privilege separation - limit application database account to minimum required permissions
8. Enable database activity monitoring (DAM) for unauthorized query detection
DETECTION:
9. Monitor for requests containing SQL keywords in fname parameter: ' OR 1=1, UNION SELECT, DROP TABLE
10. Alert on database error messages returned in HTTP responses
11. Track unusual database query patterns and failed authentication attempts
