HIGH 7.3

Description

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in SourceCodester Open Source Clinic Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /doctor.php. The manipulation of the argument doctorname leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Other parameters might be affected as well.

Analysis

Critical SQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Open Source Clinic Management System v1.0, specifically in the /doctor.php file where the 'doctorname' parameter is insufficiently sanitized. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion of sensitive healthcare information. The vulnerability has public exploit disclosure and may be actively exploited.

Technical Context

This vulnerability stems from CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component, also known as Injection), manifesting as SQL injection. The /doctor.php endpoint fails to properly sanitize or parameterize user-supplied input in the 'doctorname' parameter before incorporating it into SQL queries. The affected technology is a PHP-based clinic management system using a SQL backend (likely MySQL/MariaDB). Without prepared statements or input validation, attackers can break out of intended SQL context and inject arbitrary commands. CPE identification: cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:clinic_management_system:1.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*
