CVE-2025-4459
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-4459 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Patient Record Management System 1.0 that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the itr_no parameter in fecalysis_form.php. This affects all systems running the vulnerable software version. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete sensitive patient records.
💻 Affected Systems
- Patient Record Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to patient data theft, record manipulation, or system takeover via SQL injection to RCE chaining.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to patient records, data exfiltration, and potential database corruption.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and WAF rules blocking SQL injection patterns.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit code is publicly available on GitHub. SQL injection via itr_no parameter requires minimal technical skill.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd parameter validation and sanitization for itr_no parameter in fecalysis_form.php
Edit fecalysis_form.php to add: $itr_no = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $_POST['itr_no']);
Web Application Firewall Rules
allImplement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting itr_no parameter
ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:itr_no "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict access to fecalysis_form.php using IP whitelisting or authentication
- Implement database user with minimal privileges (read-only if possible)
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if fecalysis_form.php exists and accepts itr_no parameter. Test with SQL injection payload: ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or readme files. No standard version command.Verify Fix Applied:
Test the same SQL injection payload after implementing fixes - should return error or no data.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in PHP/application logs
- Unusual database queries from web server IP
- Multiple failed parameter validation attempts
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to fecalysis_form.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database port traffic from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="*fecalysis_form.php*" AND (param="*itr_no*SELECT*" OR param="*itr_no*UNION*" OR param="*itr_no*OR*1=1*")
