CVE-2026-2706
📋 TL;DR
This SQL injection vulnerability in code-projects Patient Record Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the comp_id parameter in the fecalysis_not.php file. This affects all installations of version 1.0 that expose the vulnerable endpoint. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete sensitive patient records in the database.
💻 Affected Systems
- code-projects Patient Record Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to patient data theft, record manipulation, or deletion of all patient records, potentially enabling ransomware attacks or identity theft.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to patient records, extraction of sensitive personal health information, and potential modification of medical data.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only allowing data viewing without modification.
🎯 Exploit Status
The exploit has been published on GitHub, making it easily accessible to attackers. SQL injection vulnerabilities are typically straightforward to exploit with automated tools.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check code-projects.org for security updates or patches. 2. If no patch is available, implement workarounds immediately. 3. Consider migrating to a supported, secure alternative system.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd proper input validation and parameterized queries to the fecalysis_not.php file to sanitize the comp_id parameter.
Edit fecalysis_not.php to replace direct SQL concatenation with prepared statements using PDO or mysqli
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
Configure WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in requests to /fecalysis_not.php
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a firewall and restrict access to authorized IP addresses only.
- Implement database-level controls: use least privilege accounts, enable logging, and regularly audit database access.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /fecalysis_not.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the comp_id parameter (e.g., comp_id=1' OR '1'='1). Monitor for database errors or unexpected responses.Check Version:
Check the application's version information in the source code, configuration files, or about page. Look for references to 'Patient Record Management System 1.0'.Verify Fix Applied:
After implementing fixes, retest with SQL injection payloads to ensure they are properly blocked or sanitized. Verify no database errors or unauthorized data access occurs.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL syntax in web server logs for requests to /fecalysis_not.php
- Database error messages containing SQL fragments in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts or unusual query patterns
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /fecalysis_not.php with SQL keywords in parameters (UNION, SELECT, INSERT, etc.)
- Unusual outbound database connections from the web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_server_logs" AND uri_path="/fecalysis_not.php" AND (param="*SELECT*" OR param="*UNION*" OR param="*OR*1=1*")
