Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with at least low-privilege access to the Hospital Management System - the CVSS 4.0 PR:L metric confirms this. The attack targets the delid parameter submitted to /prescriptionrecord.php, which must be reachable by the authenticated user's role. No non-default configuration, special server setup, or elevated OS-level access is required beyond standard application deployment. Exploitation is limited by: (1) the authentication barrier - unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this without first obtaining credentials through phishing, credential stuffing, or other means; and (2) the scope of the injection being tied to the prescription record deletion flow, which may limit what database tables are reachable depending on query construction.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) confirms network-accessible exploitation with low attack complexity and no special attack requirements, but requires low privileges (PR:L) - meaning an attacker must already hold a valid account. The E:P tag in the CVSS vector is consistent with the confirmed public POC on GitHub, reducing the skill threshold substantially. The score of 5.3 reflects constrained impact scope (all VC/VI/VA at L, no subsequent-system impact), which likely reflects the bounded nature of a delete-parameter injection rather than a full blind or UNION-based injection chain. This vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, so mass exploitation is not confirmed. However, the sensitivity of hospital data - patient records, prescriptions - means even low-confidence data leakage carries disproportionate real-world harm. The primary limiting factor is the authentication requirement, which narrows the attacker pool to insiders or previously compromised accounts.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a low-privilege account in the Hospital Management System - such as a receptionist or student intern - submits a crafted HTTP request to /prescriptionrecord.php?delid=1 OR 1=1--, injecting SQL that bypasses intended query logic. With public exploit code available at https://github.com/ltranquility/submit_vuln/issues/9, the attacker can enumerate the database schema or extract prescription records without elevated application privileges. The attack requires no special tooling beyond a browser or curl, given the low complexity and available POC.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 18, 2026

SQL injection in itsourcecode Hospital Management System 1.0 exposes authenticated users' ability to manipulate backend database queries via the delid parameter in /prescriptionrecord.php. Any instance accessible over the network is at risk of unauthorized data extraction or record manipulation - a significant concern given the sensitive patient and prescription data typically stored in such systems. Public exploit code is available on GitHub, and no vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; exploitation is not confirmed in CISA KEV but the low attack complexity and public POC reduce the barrier to abuse.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. The immediate mitigation is to audit and rewrite the SQL query in /prescriptionrecord.php to use parameterized prepared statements (PDO or MySQLi with bound parameters), eliminating the injection surface entirely. As a compensating control, operators should deploy a web application firewall rule to block SQL metacharacters in the delid parameter - though WAF bypass is possible and this is not a substitute for code-level fixes. Access to /prescriptionrecord.php should be restricted via web server ACLs to the minimum required user roles. Additionally, applying principle of least privilege to the database account used by the application will limit the blast radius of any successful injection.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is a CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in SQL Commands) in a PHP-based hospital management application distributed by itsourcecode. The delid parameter - likely intended for record deletion by ID - is passed to /prescriptionrecord.php without adequate sanitization or parameterization, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL into the backend database query. CPE cpe:2.3:a:itsourcecode:hospital_management_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all known versions, suggesting no release has addressed this class of flaw. itsourcecode distributes open-source PHP management scripts commonly used in academic institutions, clinics, and student projects, where security hardening is frequently minimal.
