Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves information disclosure via response headers in the PicoTronica e-Clinic Healthcare System ECHS 5.7, specifically in the /cdemos/echs/api/v2/ component. To detect it on your network or system, you can monitor HTTP responses from the affected endpoint for unusual or verbose response headers that may leak sensitive information.

A practical approach is to use command-line tools like curl or wget to send requests to the vulnerable endpoint and inspect the response headers.

• Use curl to fetch headers: curl -I http://target-system/cdemos/echs/api/v2/
• Use curl to fetch full response including headers: curl -v http://target-system/cdemos/echs/api/v2/
• Use tools like tcpdump or Wireshark to capture and analyze HTTP traffic to detect sensitive information in response headers.

If verbose authentication errors or unusual response headers are observed, it may indicate the presence of this vulnerability.
