Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in itsourcecode Hospital Management System 1.0 within the '/patientprofile.php' file. The root cause is the improper neutralization of the 'patientname' POST parameter before it is used in a database query. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by submitting specially crafted SQL commands (e.g., using error-based techniques like EXTRACTVALUE) to manipulate queries. Successful exploitation allows for unauthorized database reads, data tampering, and potential administrative access. Public exploit code using sqlmap has been released.
