• → Monitor POST requests to the path /index.php/knowledge_base/get_article_suggestion/ for SQL metacharacters or time-based blind SQLi payloads (e.g., sleep(), select*from) in the 'search' parameter body. ↗
• → Look for the X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest header combined with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded on POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint, as the exploit is delivered as an AJAX request. ↗
• → Detect time-based blind SQL injection attempts by alerting on abnormally long response times (≥20s) correlated with POST requests to the knowledge_base endpoint, matching the sleep(20) payload used in the proof-of-concept. ↗

• · The exploit targets specifically RISE Ultimate Project Manager version 1.9; verify the installed version before applying detections to avoid false positives on patched or unaffected versions. ↗
