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.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-76574 is an SQL injection vulnerability in code-projects Hospital Information System 1.0. The flaw exists in the User::login function of the file includes/users/UsersController.php. The vulnerability occurs because the email parameter is directly embedded into a SQL query without proper sanitization, allowing remote attackers to manipulate input and execute malicious SQL commands.

Detection Guidance

To detect this SQL injection vulnerability, inspect the login handler in includes/users/UsersController.php for direct SQL query construction using the email parameter. Test with inputs like ' OR '1'='1' in the email field to see if it bypasses authentication. Use tools like SQLmap to automate detection by targeting the login endpoint with crafted payloads.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication, extract sensitive database information, or alter data. It could lead to unauthorized access to patient records, system manipulation, or data breaches in the hospital information system.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR and HIPAA due to unauthorized access to sensitive health data. GDPR requires protection of personal data, while HIPAA mandates safeguards for protected health information. A breach could result in legal penalties and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the UsersController.php to use parameterized queries instead of embedding user input directly into SQL. Implement strict input validation for the email field, reject suspicious inputs, and hash passwords using strong algorithms. Audit other controllers in includes/ for similar SQL injection risks and restrict database account privileges.
