All users running version 1.0 of this software are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- code-projects Patient Record Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including patient record theft, data destruction, and potential system takeover via SQL injection leading to remote code execution.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to patient records, data exfiltration, and potential privilege escalation within the database.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions preventing data modification or system access.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available in GitHub repositories, making this easily exploitable.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries as workaround.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation and sanitization for the ID parameter in /edit_fpatient.php
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the /edit_fpatient.php endpoint
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /edit_fpatient.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the ID parameterCheck Version:
Check software version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and proper input validation is implemented📡 Detection & Monitoring
