AWS patches bug that left its WAF customers exposed to SQL injection

Researchers reported this week that they found a bug in MySQL that left AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) customers exposed to an SQL injection.

In a blog post, GoSecure’s ethical hackers also confirmed that upon further testing, ModSecurity, a popular WAF for Apache and nginx, were also exposed to an SQL injection.

The researchers said the bug, which they trace back to a Black Hat presentation in 2013, was fixed by AWS on Oct. 1, with public disclosure coming on Wednesday.
