Impact
The vulnerability resides in the patientchangepassword.php component of itsourcecode Hospital Management System 1.0. Manipulating the newpassword argument triggers arbitrary SQL injection in the backend database, enabling attackers to read, modify, or delete data when changing a patient’s password. The weakness is a classic SQL injection flaw (CWE‑74) compounded by improper input validation (CWE‑89), which can compromise confidentiality and integrity of patient records and potentially allow full database takeover.
Affected Systems
Affected systems are the Hospital Management System product from itsourcecode, version 1.0, and all installations that expose the /patientchangepassword.php endpoint. The vulnerability applies to any environment running this specific application version; older or newer releases may not contain the flaw.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a mid‑level severity, but the public availability of the exploit and the stated ability to launch it remotely increase the operational risk. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers could exploit the flaw by sending a crafted newpassword parameter over HTTP, potentially gaining unauthorized database access if the application does not perform proper sanitization.
