Insecure Base64 Encoding in e-Sushrut Enables Unauthorized Data Access

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability involves the use of reversible Base64 encoding to protect sensitive data, which can be decoded and manipulated by an authenticated attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Such unauthorized access to sensitive data could potentially lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations and standards like GDPR and HIPAA, which require strong protection of personal and sensitive information.

However, specific impacts on compliance are not detailed in the provided information.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in e-Sushrut because it uses reversible Base64 encoding to protect sensitive data.

An authenticated attacker can exploit this by decoding and manipulating Base64-encoded parameters in the request URL.

This allows the attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the targeted system.

Useful 0 Not Useful 0

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information if an attacker decodes and manipulates Base64-encoded parameters.

This could compromise the confidentiality of sensitive data stored or processed by the e-Sushrut system.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in e-Sushrut because it uses reversible Base64 encoding to protect sensitive data.

An authenticated attacker can exploit this by decoding and manipulating Base64-encoded parameters in the request URL.

This allows the attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the targeted system.

Useful 0 Not Useful 0

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information.

An attacker who is authenticated can decode and manipulate encoded parameters to access data they should not have access to.

This could result in data breaches, loss of confidentiality, and potential misuse of sensitive information.
