Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to hold high-privilege (administrator-level) credentials to the application, as confirmed by the CVSS PR:H vector - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. A second authenticated user must also load the affected page for the XSS payload to execute (UI:R per CVSS), making this a multi-party attack confined to the admin panel. The vulnerable parameter is specifically the room argument processed by the /admin/?page=room_types endpoint; no other parameters or endpoints are identified in available data. No special server-side configuration beyond a standard version 1.0 deployment is required. Exploitation is further limited by the absence of confidentiality impact (C:N), meaning credentials or patient records cannot be directly exfiltrated through this vector alone - the attacker gains only limited integrity impact, such as injecting misleading content or pivoting via session hijacking against other admin users.

Impact

The CVSS 2.4 (Low) score is internally consistent and appropriately calibrated for this vulnerability. AV:N confirms remote reachability, but PR:H requires the attacker to already possess administrator credentials - a significant bar that negates most opportunistic threat scenarios. UI:R further reduces risk by requiring a second authenticated admin to load the poisoned page. The scope is unchanged (S:U), and impacts are C:N/I:L/A:N, meaning no data exfiltration is possible and only limited integrity degradation occurs. The temporal vector records E:P (proof-of-concept exploit exists) and RC:R (reasonable but not confirmed confidence), with RL:X indicating no remediation level has been formally defined by the vendor. No EPSS score was provided in source data, so exploitation probability cannot be independently quantified. No CISA KEV listing exists. Overall, this is a low-priority issue for most organizations - real-world risk is low due to the admin credential prerequisite - but deserves attention in healthcare contexts where admin account compromise could enable session hijacking against clinical staff.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained admin credentials - through phishing, credential stuffing, or a prior compromise - authenticates to the admin panel and navigates to /admin/?page=room_types, submitting a crafted room value containing a JavaScript payload such as a cookie-stealing script. When a second administrator loads the room types page, the injected script executes in their browser, potentially exfiltrating their session token to an attacker-controlled server. A public proof-of-concept demonstrating this technique is available at https://github.com/jqr1449186277/CVE/issues/2.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 07, 2026

Stored or reflected cross-site scripting in SourceCodester Hospitals Patient Records Management System 1.0 allows a remote, authenticated administrator to inject malicious client-side scripts via the unvalidated room argument at the /admin/?page=room_types endpoint. The CVSS score of 2.4 (Low) accurately reflects the constrained conditions: exploitation requires admin-level credentials (PR:H) and victim interaction (UI:R), limiting blast radius to the admin panel. A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit exists via a GitHub issue, but no active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the CVSS temporal remediation level is undefined (RL:X) and no fix version appears in any referenced advisory or commit. As an immediate compensating control, restrict access to the /admin/ directory and specifically the ?page=room_types endpoint to trusted internal IP ranges or VPN-only access at the network or web server layer (e.g., via Apache .htaccess or nginx allow/deny directives); this prevents unauthenticated external access and reduces exposure. As a secondary control, implement server-side output encoding on the room parameter using an appropriate PHP HTML-encoding function (e.g., htmlspecialchars()) before rendering in the page - this directly addresses the CWE-79 root cause. Organizations should also evaluate whether this SourceCodester educational application is appropriate for production healthcare use given its track record of unpatched vulnerabilities.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation - Cross-Site Scripting) describes the root cause: the application fails to encode or sanitize user-supplied input in the room parameter before rendering it in the browser. The affected endpoint /admin/?page=room_types processes room type management within the admin interface of a PHP-based web application. The CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:hospitals_patient_records_management_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) uses a wildcard version field, indicating all tracked releases are considered affected. SourceCodester applications are typically open-source, educational-grade PHP projects distributed via sourcecodester.com, commonly deployed in academic or low-resource healthcare environments rather than enterprise settings. The XSS payload executes within the victim's browser session under the application's origin, enabling session token theft or UI manipulation against other admin users.
