Technical details

A blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the messageJson.jsp component of eClinicalWorks Patient Portal 7.0 build 13. The flaw is triggered via a specially crafted HTTP POST request. While authentication is required for exploitation, a low-privileged user can leverage out-of-band techniques, such as the select_loadfile() function, to exfiltrate database contents to an external malicious server. This allows for full compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the affected database instance.
