AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Network-reachable via REST API, low complexity, but PR:L required since exploitation demands a valid KiviCare clinical role; confidentiality-only impact confirmed by ORDER BY injection class.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The KiviCare - Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with doctor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This requires that the attacker hold at minimum a KiviCare Doctor-level account, or a Receptionist or Clinic Admin role that grants the doctor_session_list capability.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in KiviCare - Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress (all versions through 4.5.0) allows authenticated attackers with doctor-level or equivalent access to exfiltrate arbitrary database contents via a manipulated 'orderby' parameter. The flaw exists in DoctorSessionController.php and the KCQueryBuilder base class, where ORDER BY clause inputs are neither escaped nor parameterized, enabling appended SQL to traverse the entire WordPress database - including patient records, credentials, and clinical data. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid KiviCare application-level account at minimum Doctor role, OR a Receptionist or Clinic Admin role that grants the doctor_session_list capability - standard WordPress subscriber or editor roles are not sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 3.1 rates this 6.5 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, reflecting network-reachable exploitation with low complexity but requiring a low-privilege authenticated account. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained or created a KiviCare Doctor-level account - whether through credential theft, insider access, or social engineering - sends a crafted API request to a DoctorSessionController endpoint, injecting a SQL subquery into the 'orderby' parameter. The unsanitized parameter is passed directly into the ORDER BY clause of an existing query via KCQueryBuilder, allowing the attacker to use UNION-based extraction or conditional expressions to dump arbitrary tables including WordPress user password hashes, patient records, and appointment histories. … |
| Remediation | Update the KiviCare plugin to the version released after the upstream SVN changeset 3602561, visible at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3602561%40kivicare-clinic-management-system&new=3602561%40kivicare-clinic-management-system - the exact patched version number is not confirmed in available data, so verify the current WordPress plugin repository release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
