MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires reaching the patient registration workflow in patientregistration.php and supplying a crafted value in the pat_name parameter that is later rendered without output encoding (CWE-79). Per the CVSS vector, the attacker needs some privilege level (PR:L, so authentication requirements indicate an authenticated actor) and the attack depends on user interaction (UI:P) - a victim must load the page where the injected pat_name value is displayed. The impact is limited to low integrity (VI:L) with no confidentiality or availability impact per the vector. The flaw is network-reachable (AV:N). The specific deployment configuration and whether the payload is stored or reflected are not described in the available sources; because the product does not use versioning, no version-based limiting condition can be stated. |
| Impact | This is a low-priority, low-real-risk issue despite being a remotely reachable web flaw. The CVSS 4.0 base score is only 2.0, and the vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N) shows why: it is network-reachable but requires some privileges (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:P), and the only impact is a low integrity effect (VI:L) with no confidentiality or availability impact recorded. The EPSS score of 0.25% (17th percentile) corroborates low expected exploitation, and there is no CISA KEV listing, so there is no evidence of active exploitation. The vuln.today decision label is 'monitor,' consistent with all of these signals pointing in the same low-urgency direction. One data tension worth stating explicitly: the input distinguishes authentication/privilege via PR:L (authenticated), yet the product is a hobby GitHub project with no versioning and no vendor response, so the real-world deployment and threat context is thin. A public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, so even the exploit signal is soft. Overall this is a genuinely low-severity, low-urgency finding, not a high-CVSS-but-low-risk mismatch - every independent signal (CVSS, EPSS, no KEV, monitor label) agrees. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated attacker submits a patient registration via patientregistration.php with a malicious script payload in the pat_name field, which is later rendered without proper output encoding. When another user (such as a clinic staff member) views the affected page, the script executes in their browser session. A public PoC reference exists (a GitHub issue report), but it is not verified as working exploit code, and exploitation requires user interaction (UI:P) and some privilege level (PR:L). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Cross-site scripting in the patient registration workflow of subhajitkhan's Online Clinic Management System (patientregistration.php, pat_name parameter) lets an authenticated user inject markup or script that executes in another user's browser when the affected page is rendered, yielding low integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability loss per the assessed CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N vector. The project does not use versioning, so all snapshots through commit e9ee77a8827a1446220fa07ee693dc4d9a29a578 are treated as affected and no fixed release has been published; the maintainer was notified through GitHub issue #12 and has not responded. Risk is low in practice (EPSS 0.25%, 17th percentile, priority label 'monitor', no CISA KEV listing and no confirmed active exploitation), and the publicly referenced proof-of-concept is an issue-tracker reference rather than verified working exploit code.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis: the maintainer was informed via GitHub issue #12 (https://github.com/subhajitkhan/online-clinic-management-system/issues/12) and has not responded, and because the project has no versioning there is no fixed commit or release to cite beyond the affected snapshot e9ee77a8827a1446220fa07ee693dc4d9a29a578. Until upstream code is corrected, the actionable compensating control is to add contextual output encoding for the pat_name value at every point patientregistration.php or any patient listing renders it (for example htmlspecialchars with ENT_QUOTES in PHP), which removes the injection sink but must be reapplied on every re-pull of the repository since it is a local code change, not a vendor fix. As a deployment-level control, restrict the patient registration and patient record views to authenticated, trusted staff accounts and place the application behind an authenticating reverse proxy, which reduces the population of potential victims and injected actors but does not remove the flaw and will block legitimate self-registration if that workflow is in use. A web application firewall rule rejecting script-bearing values in the pat_name form field can absorb opportunistic attempts, at the cost of false positives on legitimate names containing angle brackets or quotes and of being bypassable by encoding tricks. Given the priority label 'monitor', EPSS of 0.25% and absence of KEV listing, these steps can be scheduled rather than emergency-patched, but the issue-tracker reference should be tracked for an upstream commit.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a PHP-based web application for clinic/patient administration, distributed from the GitHub repository subhajitkhan/online-clinic-management-system without tagged releases; the CPE cpe:2.3:a:subhajitkhan:online-clinic-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version precisely because no version scheme exists, and ENISA EUVD records the single affected state as commit e9ee77a8827a1446220fa07ee693dc4d9a29a578. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), i.e. the pat_name argument submitted during patient registration is later emitted into an HTML page without output encoding or contextual escaping, so an attacker-supplied value is interpreted as markup by the victim's browser. The supplied sources do not state whether the payload is stored and replayed on a patient listing/detail view or reflected immediately, and they do not name the specific sink function; the trigger is not described beyond the pat_name input path in patientregistration.php. Per the assessed vector the flaw is network-reachable and requires a low-privileged, authenticated actor plus a victim who loads the affected page (UI:R), with scope changed and only low integrity impact.
