| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the Hospital Manager Backend Services instance be deployed with 'customErrors mode="Off"' (the insecure configuration named in the description), causing the ASP.NET runtime to return verbose error pages for invalid WebResource.axd requests. The attacker needs network reachability to the application's HTTP endpoint but no authentication and no user interaction (PR:N/UI:N). Limiting factors: the disclosure is confined to framework/version metadata, stack traces, and internal paths (no sensitive application or patient data, no write capability), and the condition appears to have been remediated prior to September 19, 2025, so patched or correctly configured deployments (customErrors mode set to 'On' or 'RemoteOnly') are not exposed. |
| Impact | This is a low-to-moderate information-disclosure issue (CWE-209) that should be treated as reconnaissance-enabling rather than directly damaging. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms the flaw is remotely reachable by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity, but the impact metrics (VC:L, VI:N, VA:N) correctly cap it: only low confidentiality impact, no integrity or availability effect. The base score of 6.9 overstates practical urgency because what leaks is environmental metadata (ASP.NET version, stack traces, internal paths, and the 'customErrors mode="Off"' misconfiguration) rather than credentials or sensitive patient data. No EPSS score is provided in the input, and the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV and has no associated POC - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The phrase 'Prior to September 19, 2025' in the description strongly implies the condition has already been remediated by the vendor, further reducing live risk. Net assessment: a genuine but low-priority hygiene finding whose main value to an attacker is accelerating reconnaissance ahead of a different, more impactful exploit. Reported by CISA ICS-CERT (ics-cert@hq.dhs.gov), so the finding is credible, but the signals (no KEV, no POC, low-only impact) all point to low real-world risk despite the 6.9 score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker on the network sends a malformed or invalid WebResource.axd request to the Hospital Manager Backend Services endpoint and receives a verbose ASP.NET error page in response. The returned stack traces, framework/version strings, and internal file paths let the attacker fingerprint the platform and map internal structure to plan a follow-on attack. No public exploit code is required or identified; the behavior is triggered with an ordinary crafted HTTP request. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026
Hospital Manager Backend Services prior to September 19, 2025 discloses verbose ASP.NET error pages to unauthenticated remote attackers when configured with customErrors mode='Off', enabling reconnaissance via framework/version metadata, stack traces, and internal paths. This low-to-moderate CWE-209 issue was remediated prior to that date, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory (CISA ICSMA-25-301-01). Apply the vendor-provided update or ensure customErrors mode is set to 'On' or 'RemoteOnly' in the ASP.NET configuration. This configuration change prevents verbose error pages but may reduce debugging detail in development environments. If patching is not immediately possible, restrict network access to the application's HTTP endpoint using firewalls or reverse proxies, and consider a web application firewall to filter error responses. Note that blocking access may impact legitimate users; balance with operational needs. Monitor for reconnaissance attempts via WebResource.axd requests. Refer to the advisory for further guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the error handling configuration of Hospital Manager Backend Services, an ASP.NET-based application. When customErrors mode is set to 'Off', invalid requests to WebResource.axd-a handler for embedded web resources-cause the ASP.NET runtime to return detailed error pages instead of generic ones. This improper error handling (CWE-209) leaks the ASP.NET framework version, stack traces, internal file paths, and explicitly the insecure configuration setting. The exposed information is limited to metadata and does not include sensitive application or patient data, nor does it allow write operations. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:vertikalsystems:hospital_manager_backend_services:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions of the product are affected if deployed with this misconfiguration. The issue was remediated prior to September 19, 2025, per the vendor advisory.

DescriptionCVE.org
Prior to September 19, 2025, the Hospital Manager Backend Services returned verbose ASP.NET error pages for invalid WebResource.axd requests, disclosing framework and ASP.NET version information, stack traces, internal paths, and the insecure configuration 'customErrors mode="Off"', which could have facilitated reconnaissance by unauthenticated attackers.
