📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to patient data exfiltration, administrative account takeover, system destruction, and potential ransomware deployment.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive patient records, extraction of administrative credentials, and potential data manipulation.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper input validation and WAF rules block exploitation attempts.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Remote exploitation possible without authentication, making internet-facing instances extremely vulnerable.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could still exploit, but network segmentation reduces exposure.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub. SQL injection via date parameters is straightforward to weaponize.

🛠️ 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

all

Add parameter validation to ensure fromdate and todate parameters contain only valid date formats before processing.

Modify /admin/betweendates-detailsreports.php to validate date parameters using regex patterns and prepared statements

WAF Rule Implementation

all

Deploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns in date parameters.

Add WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts in GET/POST parameters

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Restrict access to /admin/betweendates-detailsreports.php using IP whitelisting or authentication requirements
  • Implement database user privilege reduction to limit potential damage from SQL injection

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the /admin/betweendates-detailsreports.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in fromdate/todate parameters and observe database errors or unexpected responses.

Check Version:

Check system documentation or configuration files for version information, or examine the software interface for version details.

Verify Fix Applied:

After implementing fixes, test with the same SQL injection payloads and verify they are rejected or sanitized without database errors.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in web server logs
  • Multiple requests to /admin/betweendates-detailsreports.php with suspicious parameters
  • Database query patterns containing SQL keywords in date parameters

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests with SQL injection patterns in GET/POST parameters
  • Unusual database connection patterns from web server

SIEM Query:

source="web_server.log" AND (url_path="/admin/betweendates-detailsreports.php" AND (param="fromdate" OR param="todate") AND (content="UNION" OR content="SELECT" OR content="INSERT" OR content="DELETE"))
