path/admin/uploads.php?id=sleep(7)
filenameAtom.CMS_admin_uploads.php
  • Detect time-based blind SQLi attempts against Atom.CMS uploads endpoint by looking for the 'id=sleep(...)' pattern in GET requests to /admin/uploads.php
  • Successful exploitation produces a response body containing the string 'WHERE id', which can be used as a detection signal
  • Fingerprint Atom.CMS instances by checking for 'atomcms' in the HTML body of the root page before probing the vulnerable endpoint
  • Use Shodan query html:"atomcms" to identify internet-exposed Atom.CMS instances potentially vulnerable to CVE-2022-28033
  • A response duration of 7 or more seconds on the /admin/uploads.php endpoint combined with HTTP 200 and 'WHERE id' in the body is a strong indicator of successful time-based SQL injection exploitation
  • ·The SQL injection is unauthenticated (PR:N) and network-reachable (AV:N), meaning no prior authentication is required to exploit /admin/uploads.php via the 'id' parameter
  • ·The detection template uses a 20-second timeout to accommodate the time-based sleep payload; network latency may cause false positives or false negatives if not accounted for
  • ·Exploitation is only confirmed against Atom.CMS version 2.0 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:thedigitalcraft:atomcms:2.0)
