Danphe Health Hospital Management System EMR | 3.2
How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of an issue discovered in the SecuritySettingsController.cs file of the Danphe Health Hospital Management System. By sending a specially crafted request to this controller, an attacker can manipulate the password reset functionality to change the password of any account. This allows the attacker to gain unauthorized access to any user account, including those with administrative privileges, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the exploitation might occur. The attacker sends an HTTP POST request to the password reset endpoint with a manipulated payload:
POST /Code/Websites/DanpheEMR/Controllers/Settings/SecuritySettingsController.cs HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "username": "admin", "new_password": "malicious_password" }In the above hypothetical example, the attacker targets the ‘admin’ account and sets a new password ‘malicious_password’ for it. This action will allow the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the targeted account.
Mitigation and Prevention Measures
The best way to safeguard your system against this vulnerability is to apply the patch provided by Danphe Health. This patch rectifies the issue in the code that allows password resets. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. These systems should be configured to detect and block malicious requests targeting the SecuritySettingsController.cs endpoint.
