Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the itsourcecode Hospital Management System 1.0 within the '/prescription.php' component. The application fails to properly sanitize or validate the 'editid' GET parameter before using it in a SQL query. An attacker with valid low-privileged credentials can exploit this by providing a malicious payload (e.g., time-based blind SQLi) to manipulate database queries. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized data extraction, modification, or deletion. A public exploit (PoC) using sqlmap has been released. Developers are advised to implement prepared statements and parameter binding to mitigate this issue.
