CVE-2025-5363
📋 TL;DR
This critical SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes Online Hospital Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the Username parameter in /doctor/index.php. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete sensitive hospital data including patient records, medical information, and system credentials. All installations of version 1.0 with the vulnerable component exposed are affected.

📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to theft of all patient medical records, financial data, and credentials; potential ransomware deployment; system destruction; and regulatory compliance violations with massive fines.
Likely Case
Data exfiltration of sensitive patient information, credential theft leading to further system access, and potential data manipulation affecting patient care.
If Mitigated
Limited impact due to network segmentation, WAF protection, and minimal database privileges restricting attacker access to non-sensitive data.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public exploit available on GitHub; SQL injection is well-understood with many automated tools available.
🛠️ 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 workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /doctor/index.php Username parameter
# Example ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:Username "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQLi attempt detected'"
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side input validation to sanitize Username parameter
# PHP example: $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['Username']);
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a reverse proxy with strict input validation
- Implement network segmentation to restrict database access from web servers
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /doctor/index.php with SQL injection payloads in Username parameter (e.g., ' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check system documentation or admin panel for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and return appropriate error responses📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL patterns
- Requests to /doctor/index.php with suspicious Username parameters
Network Indicators:
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
- Large data transfers from database to external IPs
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/doctor/index.php" AND (Username="*'*" OR Username="*--*" OR Username="*;*")
