→Probe GET requests to /plus/ajax_officebuilding.php with act=key and a SQL UNION injection payload in the 'key' parameter; a successful response body will contain the MD5 hash of the injected numeric value (e.g., md5(999999999)). ↗

→FOFA fingerprinting queries for exposed 74cms instances: app="74cms" or body="74cms" ↗
→The injection uses inline comment-style obfuscation (<>) to split SQL keywords (e.g., 'un<>ion', 'sel<>ect', 'a<>nd') to bypass naive WAF/keyword filters. ↗

·The exploit targets 74cms version 3.2.0 specifically; the vulnerable parameter is 'key' (not 'x' as stated in the NVD description) within the endpoint /plus/ajax_officebuilding.php with act=key. ↗
·The UNION-based injection selects 9 columns; the injected value appears in the 4th column position. Detection relies on the MD5 hash of the canary value (999999999) appearing in the HTTP response body. ↗
