📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to theft of all patient records, administrative credentials, and potential remote code execution on the underlying server.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to patient data, modification of medical records, and potential privilege escalation within the system.
If Mitigated
Limited data exposure if proper input validation and WAF rules are in place, though the vulnerability remains present.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit requires admin authentication to access the vulnerable endpoint, but SQL injection payloads are simple and well-documented. The vulnerability is in the public domain with proof-of-concept available.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://www.campcodes.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Monitor vendor website for updates. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries as temporary mitigation.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement server-side validation and sanitization of the 'searchdata' parameter to prevent SQL injection payloads.
Modify /admin/patient-search.php to validate input using prepared statements or parameterized queries
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the /admin/patient-search.php endpoint.
Configure WAF to block requests containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE when sent to vulnerable endpoint
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict access to /admin/ directory using network ACLs or authentication requirements
- Implement database user privilege restrictions to limit potential damage from SQL injection
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/patient-search.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the 'searchdata' parameter (e.g., searchdata=' OR '1'='1). Monitor for database errors or unexpected results.Check Version:
Check the application version in the admin panel or review the source code for version indicators.Verify Fix Applied:
Attempt the same SQL injection tests after implementing fixes. Successful fixes should return proper error handling without executing SQL commands.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by access to /admin/patient-search.php
- HTTP requests containing SQL keywords in searchdata parameter
Network Indicators:
- Unusual traffic patterns to /admin/patient-search.php
- Requests with encoded SQL payloads in parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/admin/patient-search.php" AND (param="searchdata" AND value MATCHES "(?i)(union|select|insert|update|delete|or|and|--|#|;)")
