MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege session (CVSS PR:L) plus the ability to reach the book.php endpoint of the Booking Handler component over the network, and the attacker must supply malicious input in the Doctor or appointment request parameter. Limiting factors: a valid account is needed (not unauthenticated), impact is partial (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) rather than full database takeover, and there is no fixed version available because the project ships as an unversioned rolling release with an unresponsive maintainer. No special non-default configuration is indicated - the vulnerable parameter appears to be part of the standard booking workflow. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but low-to-moderate priority issue. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) describes network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring low-level authentication (PR:L), with limited partial impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) and no scope change - yielding a modest 5.3 (Medium). A CWE-89 SQL injection would often warrant higher impact, but the CVSS author rated all impacts Low, suggesting constrained data exposure rather than full database compromise or RCE. Exploit maturity is E:P (Proof-of-Concept), consistent with the publicly available POC on the GitHub issue tracker. No EPSS score was provided in the input, and the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of active exploitation - exploitation status is 'publicly available exploit code exists', which must not be conflated with in-the-wild use. The combination of an obscure, unmaintained open-source project (vendor has not responded per the report), an authentication requirement, and only partial impacts makes this a low real-world priority despite being a verified, publicly-exploitable SQLi. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated user with low privileges submits a crafted value in the Doctor or appointment parameter to book.php, injecting SQL that the Booking Handler executes against the backend database. Because a public POC exists (linked from the project's GitHub issue tracker) and the attack is remote over the network, an attacker can reproduce it to read or tamper with limited database records. The PR:L requirement means the attacker must first hold a valid low-privilege account. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
SQL injection in girishsaraf's Online Appointment Booking System allows an authenticated low-privilege user to inject arbitrary SQL through the Doctor and appointment parameters handled by book.php, exposing or corrupting booking-related data. All commits up to f427b4757128ca253d33d0cc4e87bbb9c999a4d5 are affected because the project ships as an unversioned rolling release, and the maintainer has not responded to the vendor notification, so no fixed release exists. Exploitation is remote and publicly available exploit code exists (no CISA KEV listing), but the assessed impact is partial rather than full database takeover, making this a genuine but low-to-moderate priority issue.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the maintainer was notified via the GitHub issue but has not responded, and the rolling-release model provides no fixed version to upgrade to. The strongest available action is to fork the repository and replace string-concatenated queries in book.php with parameterized prepared statements for the Doctor and appointment parameters, which fully removes the root cause but requires maintaining a private branch. As compensating controls, restrict access to book.php to authenticated, trusted users only (exploitation requires a low-privilege account per the assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N), deploy a WAF or reverse-proxy rule that blocks SQL metacharacters and UNION/boolean constructs in the Doctor and appointment parameters (useful but bypassable and may break legitimate booking input), apply strict server-side input whitelisting for those parameters, and run the database account with least privilege, limited to the booking schema, to contain successful injections. Monitor web and database logs for anomalous queries against booking tables and rotate database credentials if compromise is suspected. If the application cannot be hardened or self-patched, consider taking it offline in favor of a maintained booking platform, since the exposed code path (book.php) is part of the normal booking workflow and cannot simply be disabled without breaking the service.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a PHP web application (tags: PHP, SQLi, Online Appointment Booking System) built on the typical LAMP-style stack where the booking workflow in book.php constructs SQL statements directly from user-supplied request parameters. The root cause class is CWE-89 (SQL Injection): the Doctor and appointment arguments are concatenated into a database query without parameterization or prepared statements, allowing an attacker to alter query structure. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:girishsaraf:online-appointment-booking-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, matching the vendor's rolling-release model in which no discrete versions are published, so any build up to the referenced commit is presumed vulnerable. VulDB (vuln/413618, submit/984338) is the originating intelligence source, and the project's own GitHub issue tracker is the public proof-of-concept location.

3DescriptionCVE.org
A weakness has been identified in girishsaraf Online-Appointment-Booking-System up to f427b4757128ca253d33d0cc4e87bbb9c999a4d5. The affected element is an unknown function of the file book.php of the component Booking Handler. This manipulation of the argument Doctor/appointment causes sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. This product adopts a rolling release strategy to maintain continuous delivery. Therefore, version details for affected or updated releases cannot be specified. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
