How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code into the system. When a user sends a request containing this malicious SQL command, the Hospital Management System processes it without proper validation. This allows the attacker to manipulate the system’s database, leading to unauthorized access, modification, or deletion of data.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using a HTTP request with a malicious SQL command:
POST /patientrecords HTTP/1.1
Host: hospital.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
patient_id=1; DROP TABLE patients; --In the above example, the attacker uses a SQL injection to delete the “patients” table from the database. This could result in catastrophic data loss.
Impact
If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could lead to severe consequences such as unauthorized access to sensitive patient data, data loss, or even a complete system compromise. Given the nature of the data involved, the impact could extend beyond the technical realm, affecting patient care and potentially leading to legal repercussions.
Mitigation
A patch has been released by mojoomla to fix this vulnerability. All users of the affected versions of the Hospital Management System are advised to apply this patch immediately. In the absence of a patch, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) could be used as a temporary mitigation to identify and block malicious SQL injection attempts. However, these are not permanent solutions and the system remains vulnerable until the patch is applied.
