Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms unauthenticated remote exploitation against any network-accessible instance of Hospital Information System 1.0 in its default configuration. The only limiting factor is deployment scope: the product is an educational/demo application from code-projects.org and is unlikely to be widely deployed in production. Any instance exposed to the internet or an untrusted network is exploitable without credentials or user interaction.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) rates impact conservatively as Low across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, yielding a score of 5.5 (Medium). The E:P supplemental metric confirms exploit code is publicly available, which lowers the barrier for exploitation significantly. No CISA KEV listing exists, and EPSS data was not supplied, but POC availability raises real-world risk above what the base score alone implies. The primary limiting factor is the product's deployment footprint - code-projects.org publishes educational/demo software not intended for production use, so the attack surface in live environments should be small. However, any instance reachable from the network is trivially exploitable with no authentication required.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to the publicly accessible addReq.php endpoint, injecting SQL syntax into the Search parameter (e.g., a UNION-based or error-based payload). The unsanitized input is passed directly into the SQL query by findBySearch(), allowing the attacker to extract patient records, credentials, or other sensitive hospital data from the database. Publicly available exploit code on GitHub lowers the skill threshold for this attack to near-zero.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 04, 2026

SQL injection in code-projects Hospital Information System 1.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate database queries via the Search argument in the findBySearch() function of addReq.php. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms network accessibility with no authentication, no complexity, and no user interaction required. Publicly available exploit code exists via a GitHub issue; no CISA KEV listing.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. Code-projects.org hosts educational and demonstration software that typically does not receive security patches. The primary recommendation is to avoid deploying this software in any production or internet-accessible environment. If the application must remain operational, the specific fix is to rewrite the findBySearch() function in addReq.php to use parameterized queries or prepared statements (PDO or MySQLi with bound parameters) rather than string concatenation. As a compensating control, deploying a web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules in front of the addReq.php endpoint can reduce exploitation risk, though it is not a substitute for fixing the underlying code. Restricting access to the application to trusted IP ranges via server-level ACLs is a further risk-reduction measure.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is code-projects Hospital Information System 1.0 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:code-projects:hospital_information_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a PHP-based web application hosted on the code-projects.org educational/demo platform. CWE-89 (SQL Injection) identifies the root cause: the findBySearch() function in addReq.php directly concatenates the user-supplied Search parameter into a SQL query without parameterization or sanitization. This classic unsanitized input pattern allows an attacker to alter query logic, extract data, modify records, or potentially escalate to OS-level access depending on database privileges.
