Impact
The vulnerability resides in the Admin/showdoctor.php component of the Online‑Appointment‑Booking‑System, where missing authorization checks allow an attacker to manipulate the page and gain unauthorized access. This can lead to viewing or modifying sensitive appointment data, potentially escalating privileges within the system. The flaw is a classic authorization bypass, as identified by CWE-862 and CWE-863, meaning the attack does not require authentication to succeed once the URL is known.
Affected Systems
Affecting all deployments of girishsaraf's Online‑Appointment‑Booking‑System, with no specific release notes due to a rolling‑release model. Versions up to the commit f427b4757128ca253d33d0cc4e87bbb9c999a4d5 contain the flaw, and any newer releases have not been confirmed to include remediation.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate risk, and the EPSS score is not available. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed and exploitable through a remote web request. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the lack of a patch and the remote nature of the exploit raise substantial concern for any active deployment.
