📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data manipulation, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution via database functions.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive patient records, administrative credentials theft, and database manipulation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only read access to non-sensitive data.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit requires admin access to reach /hms/admin/query-details.php, but 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 a supported version or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement parameterized queries or input validation for the adminremark parameter.
Modify /hms/admin/query-details.php to use prepared statements with bound parameters
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting adminremark parameter.
Configure WAF to detect and block SQL injection attempts in POST/GET parameters
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict network access to the HMS admin interface to trusted IPs only
- Implement database user with minimal privileges (read-only if possible)
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the adminremark parameter with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1 in the query-details.php interfaceCheck Version:
Check application version in admin panel or source code commentsVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return error messages or are properly sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by access to query-details.php
- HTTP requests with SQL keywords in adminremark parameter
Network Indicators:
- POST requests to /hms/admin/query-details.php containing SQL injection patterns
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/hms/admin/query-details.php" AND (param="adminremark" AND value MATCHES "(?i)(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|or|and|'|--|#)")
