CVE-2025-6768

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 hospitalName parameter in the findAllHosByCondition function. The vulnerability affects all versions up to commit 627f426331da8086ce8fff2017d65b1ddef384f8, and exploitation can lead to unauthorized database access, data theft, or system compromise.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • sfturing hosp_order
Versions: All versions up to commit 627f426331da8086ce8fff2017d65b1ddef384f8
Operating Systems: Any OS running the application
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Continuous delivery with rolling releases means no specific version numbers are available; all deployments before the fix commit are vulnerable.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise allowing data exfiltration, data manipulation, privilege escalation, and potential remote code execution on the database server.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive hospital/patient data, data modification, and potential extraction of database credentials leading to further system compromise.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database permission restrictions in place.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploit has been publicly disclosed and remote exploitation is possible without authentication.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Versions after commit 627f426331da8086ce8fff2017d65b1ddef384f8

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/sfturing/hosp_order/issues/110

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Pull the latest code from the repository. 2. Verify the fix is included (check for parameterized queries in HospitalServiceImpl.java). 3. Rebuild and redeploy the application. 4. Restart the application server.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Implement input validation to reject SQL special characters in hospitalName parameter

Implement regex filter: hospitalName.matches("^[a-zA-Z0-9\s-]*$")

WAF Rule

all

Deploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns

ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:hospitalName "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny"

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to restrict database access from application servers
  • Enable database auditing and monitor for unusual SQL queries

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if your codebase includes commit 627f426331da8086ce8fff2017d65b1ddef384f8 or earlier in git history

Check Version:

git log --oneline -1

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify HospitalServiceImpl.java uses parameterized queries (PreparedStatement) instead of string concatenation for SQL queries

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL patterns
  • Long or unusual hospitalName parameter values

Network Indicators:

  • SQL keywords in HTTP POST parameters
  • Unusual database connection patterns from application servers

SIEM Query:

source="application.log" AND ("SQL syntax" OR "unclosed quotation" OR "SELECT * FROM")
