| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-89 | The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |
| CWE-74 | The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-10209 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability found in the Online Hospital Management System version 1.0, specifically in the file appointmentdetail.php. The vulnerability occurs due to improper input validation of the editid parameter, which allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries remotely without needing authentication.
Attackers can exploit this flaw using techniques such as boolean-based blind, error-based, or time-based blind SQL injection to manipulate database queries.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to the database, allowing attackers to tamper with data, leak sensitive information, gain control over the system, and disrupt services.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the `editid` parameter in the `appointmentdetail.php` file for SQL injection flaws. Attackers may use boolean-based blind, error-based, or time-based blind SQL injection techniques.
One common method to detect this vulnerability is by using automated tools such as sqlmap, which can test and exploit SQL injection points.
- Use sqlmap with a command like: sqlmap -u "http://target/appointmentdetail.php?editid=1" --batch --dbs
- Manually test by injecting SQL payloads into the `editid` parameter, such as adding `' OR '1'='1` or time-based payloads to observe response delays.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include implementing prepared statements and strict input validation on the `editid` parameter to prevent SQL injection.
Additionally, minimize database permissions to limit the impact of any potential exploitation.
Conduct regular security audits to identify and fix similar vulnerabilities.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The SQL injection vulnerability in the Online Hospital Management System allows unauthorized database access, data tampering, and sensitive information leakage. Such impacts can lead to violations of data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which mandate the protection of personal and health-related data from unauthorized access and breaches.
Failure to address this vulnerability could result in non-compliance with these standards due to compromised confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data.
