This can result in complete theft, alteration, or deletion of patient records and other sensitive data. The flaw is classified as CWE‑74 and CWE‑89.
Affected Systems
The affected product is code‑projects Online Hospital Management System, specifically the login_1.php module. No specific version numbers are supplied, so the vulnerability may exist in all publicly available releases until a patch is applied.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a high potential for damage, and the vulnerability is exploitable remotely through the web interface. While EPSS data is unavailable and it is not listed in the KEV catalog, the fact that the exploit is already published and can be leveraged without special privileges means the risk is significant. An attacker who succeeds could gain unauthorised database access, compromising confidentiality and integrity of patient data.
