⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise leading to data exfiltration of sensitive medical records, ransomware deployment across healthcare infrastructure, and disruption of critical medical services.
Likely Case
Attackers establish persistent access via web shells, steal patient data, and potentially pivot to other healthcare systems in the network.
If Mitigated
With proper file upload validation and authentication controls, the attack surface is reduced, though authenticated users could still attempt exploitation.
🎯 Exploit Status
Arbitrary file upload vulnerabilities are commonly exploited with simple tools. Authentication requirement adds one barrier, but once authenticated, exploitation is straightforward.
