CVE-2022-43162: n/a in n/a
Online Diagnostic Lab Management System v1.0 was discovered to contain a SQL injection vulnerability via the id parameter at /tests/view_test.php.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2022-43162 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability identified in the Online Diagnostic Lab Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the 'id' parameter of the /tests/view_test.php endpoint. SQL injection (CWE-89) vulnerabilities occur when untrusted input is improperly sanitized and directly included in SQL queries, allowing an attacker to manipulate the database query. In this case, the 'id' parameter is susceptible to injection, enabling an attacker with high privileges (as indicated by the CVSS vector requiring PR:H) to execute arbitrary SQL commands. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, reflecting its high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), meaning exploitation can be attempted remotely without physical access. No user interaction is required (UI:N), but the attacker must have some level of authenticated access (PR:H). The scope is unchanged (S:U), indicating the vulnerability affects the same security scope as the vulnerable component. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to read, modify, or delete sensitive diagnostic data, potentially disrupting lab operations and compromising patient information. No public exploits or patches are currently known or available, which may limit immediate exploitation but also complicates mitigation. The lack of vendor and product details beyond the generic system name limits precise identification, but the vulnerability clearly targets a specialized healthcare management application used for diagnostic lab test management.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, particularly healthcare providers and diagnostic laboratories, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive patient diagnostic data, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage. Integrity compromise could lead to falsified test results, endangering patient safety and clinical decision-making. Availability impact could disrupt lab operations, delaying diagnostics and treatment. Given the critical nature of healthcare services, such disruptions could have cascading effects on public health. The requirement for high privileges to exploit suggests insider threats or compromised credentials are likely attack vectors, emphasizing the need for strict access controls. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but also means organizations may be unaware or unprepared. The vulnerability's presence in a niche lab management system suggests impact is concentrated in healthcare sectors using this specific software, but the criticality of the data and operations involved amplifies the severity of any breach.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting access to the /tests/view_test.php endpoint to only trusted and authenticated users with the minimum necessary privileges. 2. Implement rigorous input validation and parameterized queries (prepared statements) to eliminate SQL injection risks in the 'id' parameter and any other user inputs. 3. Conduct a thorough code review and security audit of the entire Online Diagnostic Lab Management System to identify and remediate similar injection points. 4. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. 5. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or failed injection attempts to detect potential exploitation attempts early. 6. Enforce multi-factor authentication and regular credential audits to reduce the risk of privilege escalation or insider misuse. 7. Since no official patch is available, consider isolating the vulnerable system within a segmented network zone with strict access controls to limit exposure. 8. Engage with the software vendor or community to obtain or develop patches and updates addressing this vulnerability. 9. Prepare incident response plans specific to potential data breaches involving diagnostic data to minimize impact if exploitation occurs.
