Technical details
The vulnerability is a reflected XSS flaw in the /HIS/src/patients/editPatient.php file, specifically in the handling of the ID parameter. The vulnerable component fails to properly validate and encode user-supplied input before reflecting it in the HTTP response. An unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted URL with malicious JavaScript payload in the ID parameter to a hospital staff member. When the victim opens the link in their authenticated session, the JavaScript executes in their browser context. No authentication is required from the attacker; only the victim must be logged in and click the malicious link.
