Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SourceCodester Hospital's Patient Records Management System 1.0 within the '/admin/patients/manage_history.php' file. The root cause is the improper neutralization of the 'id' GET parameter, which is used directly in SQL queries without sufficient validation or sanitization. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted HTTP requests (e.g., time-based blind payloads) to manipulate database queries. Successful exploitation allows for unauthorized data retrieval, modification, or deletion from the database. A public exploit (PoC) using sqlmap has been disclosed.
