Technical details

The vulnerability exists in php/sessions.php where authentication checks use an HTTP redirect without calling exit(), allowing PHP execution to continue and deliver protected content to unauthenticated users. Any page requiring authentication includes sessions.php before rendering sensitive data; when the session is invalid, the redirect header is sent but the response body containing patient lists, transaction data, and admin panels is still generated and returned. Remote attackers can exploit this with a simple HTTP request and no authentication credentials.
