CVE-2025-5229
📋 TL;DR
Campcodes Online Hospital Management System 1.0 contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the /admin/view-patient.php file. Attackers can remotely exploit this by manipulating the 'viewid' parameter to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This affects all systems running the vulnerable version of this hospital management software.
💻 Affected Systems
- Campcodes Online Hospital Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including patient medical records, administrative credentials, and sensitive healthcare data; potential for system takeover and data destruction.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to patient records, extraction of sensitive healthcare information, and potential privilege escalation to administrative accounts.
If Mitigated
Limited information disclosure if proper input validation and database permissions are in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit requires admin access to reach the vulnerable endpoint; SQL injection is straightforward once authenticated.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://www.campcodes.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative hospital management systems or implementing custom fixes with parameterized queries.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block exploitation attempts.
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side input validation to sanitize the 'viewid' parameter before processing.
🧯 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 queries from the application
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/view-patient.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the 'viewid' parameter while authenticated as admin.Check Version:
Check the software version in the admin panel or application configuration files.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that parameterized queries are implemented and SQL injection attempts return error messages rather than executing.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful admin access
- Suspicious parameter values in web server access logs
Network Indicators:
- SQL syntax in HTTP POST/GET parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_server" AND (url="*view-patient.php*" AND (param="*viewid=*' OR *" OR param="*viewid=*;*"))
