CVE-2025-6766

6.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This critical SQL injection vulnerability in sfturing hosp_order allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands by manipulating the officesName parameter in the getOfficeName function. This affects all deployments using versions up to commit 627f426331da8086ce8fff2017d65b1ddef384f8, potentially exposing database contents and enabling data manipulation.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • sfturing hosp_order
Versions: All versions up to commit 627f426331da8086ce8fff2017d65b1ddef384f8
Operating Systems: Any OS running Java
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Using rolling release model, so all deployments before the fix are vulnerable. No specific version numbers available.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise including data exfiltration, modification, or deletion; potential privilege escalation to execute operating system commands via database functions.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive patient/medical data, modification of hospital order records, potential data integrity issues affecting patient care.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing successful exploitation.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, making internet-facing instances particularly vulnerable.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems are still vulnerable but require network access; risk depends on internal network segmentation and access controls.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploit details are publicly disclosed in GitHub issue #108, making exploitation straightforward for attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Commit after 627f426331da8086ce8fff2017d65b1ddef384f8

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/sfturing/hosp_order/issues/108

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Pull latest code from repository 2. Rebuild application 3. Deploy updated version 4. Restart application service

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Implement input validation to reject suspicious characters in officesName parameter

Add input validation in OfficeServiceImpl.java before SQL query execution

WAF Rule

all

Deploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns

Configure WAF to detect and block SQL injection attempts in officesName parameter

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to restrict access to vulnerable endpoints
  • Deploy database monitoring to detect unusual SQL queries and access patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if current code version includes commit 627f426331da8086ce8fff2017d65b1ddef384f8 or earlier in git history

Check Version:

git log --oneline -1

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that OfficeServiceImpl.java uses parameterized queries or prepared statements for getOfficeName function

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts or parameter manipulation attempts

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests with SQL injection patterns in officesName parameter
  • Unusual database query patterns from application server

SIEM Query:

source="application.logs" AND ("SQL syntax" OR "unexpected token" OR "officeName" AND ("' OR" OR "--" OR ";"))
