CVE-2025-5762
📋 TL;DR
A critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in code-projects Patient Record Management System 1.0, specifically in the view_hematology.php file's itr_no parameter. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database. All users running the vulnerable version are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- code-projects Patient Record Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including patient record theft, data destruction, and potential system takeover via SQL injection leading to remote code execution.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive patient data, database manipulation, and potential privilege escalation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only error messages or limited data exposure.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available in GitHub repositories. SQL injection via itr_no parameter requires minimal technical skill.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check code-projects.org for official patch. 2. If no patch, implement input validation and parameterized queries. 3. Replace vulnerable view_hematology.php file with secure version.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd input validation to sanitize itr_no parameter before processing
// In view_hematology.php, add: $itr_no = filter_var($_GET['itr_no'], FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
Web Application Firewall Rule
allBlock SQL injection patterns targeting itr_no parameter
WAF rule: Block requests containing SQL keywords in itr_no parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to restrict access to the vulnerable system
- Deploy a web application firewall with SQL injection protection rules
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test view_hematology.php with SQL injection payloads in itr_no parameter (e.g., view_hematology.php?itr_no=1' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check system documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify parameterized queries are used and input validation prevents SQL injection payloads📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts or parameter manipulation in access logs
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with SQL keywords in itr_no parameter
- Unusual database query patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (uri="*view_hematology.php*" AND (query="*itr_no=*'*" OR query="*itr_no=*%27*" OR query="*itr_no=* OR *" OR query="*itr_no=* UNION *"))
