AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw lies in the SQL Database Backup File Handler of the hospital information system. An unknown functionality of the exposed file /HIS/his.sql can be manipulated to reveal its contents, allowing remote attackers to gain access to confidential data. This vulnerability is classified as CWE‑200 and CWE‑284 and enables remote information disclosure.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability targets the 1.0 release of the code‑projects Hospital Information System, specifically the component that serves the SQL database backup file. No other versions are listed, so all installations running this version are susceptible to exploitation.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 signals a moderate severity, but the existence of a publicly available exploit makes the threat more pressing, especially since the vulnerability can be triggered remotely via direct file access. Although the EPSS score is not available and the issue is not in the CISA KEV catalog, the fact that an attacker can read sensitive backup data requires immediate attention by administrators.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the hospital information system to a patched version that removes the publicly exposed his.sql file.
  • If a patch is not immediately feasible, restrict web access to the /HIS directory or move the his.sql file to a non‑public location and enforce strict file permissions.
  • Configure access controls so that only privileged system accounts can read backup files, mitigating CWE‑284.
  • Remove or disable the SQL Database Backup File Handler component if it is not required to prevent unauthorized access.
