Technical details
Multiple admin display pages (showdoctor.php, showclinic.php, showmanager.php, showdoctorschedule.php) lack authentication checks and do not call session_start() or verify $_SESSION variables before querying and echoing database records. An unauthenticated remote attacker can directly access these pages to enumerate and extract sensitive healthcare data. The vulnerability is a missing authorization control at the application layer.
