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.

Executive Summary

The KiviCare WordPress plugin before version 4.5.2 has a SQL injection vulnerability. This occurs because user-supplied parameters in a REST endpoint are not properly sanitized or escaped before being used in SQL queries. Authenticated users with a clinic staff-level role can exploit this to run arbitrary SQL commands.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check the installed version of the KiviCare WordPress plugin. If it is below 4.5.2, the system is vulnerable. Use WordPress admin panel or run a command like 'wp plugin list' in the WordPress directory to verify the version.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with clinic staff access could manipulate the database, steal sensitive data, modify records, or take control of the WordPress site. This could lead to data breaches, unauthorized access to patient or business information, and potential disruption of services.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR or HIPAA by exposing protected health or personal data. Organizations may face legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage if patient or user data is compromised due to this flaw.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the KiviCare plugin to version 4.5.2 or later. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin temporarily until an update is applied. Ensure all authenticated users with clinic staff roles follow strict input validation practices.
