CVE-2025-11038 is a medium-severity SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Online Clinic Management System. The vulnerability exists in an unspecified function within the /details.php script, specifically when handling the 'action=post' parameter and the manipulation of the 'ID' argument. An attacker can exploit this flaw by crafting malicious input to the ID parameter, which is then improperly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. This allows the attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even complete compromise of the backend database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring user interaction or prior authentication, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, reflecting a medium impact primarily due to limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts (all rated low), but with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction needed. While no public exploits are currently known in the wild, proof-of-concept code has been made publicly available, increasing the likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, which is a niche clinic management system likely used by small to medium healthcare providers for managing patient data and clinical workflows. Given the sensitive nature of healthcare data, exploitation could lead to exposure of personal health information, undermining patient privacy and potentially violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor further exacerbates the risk for organizations still running this version.

For European organizations, the impact of this SQL Injection vulnerability is significant due to the sensitive nature of healthcare data managed by clinic management systems. Successful exploitation could result in unauthorized access to patient records, including personal and medical information, leading to privacy breaches and potential regulatory penalties under GDPR. Data integrity could also be compromised, affecting clinical decision-making and patient safety. Availability impacts are less severe but could still disrupt clinic operations if the database is corrupted or taken offline. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the vulnerability increases the risk of exploitation by external attackers, including cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors targeting healthcare infrastructure. European healthcare providers using this system may face reputational damage, legal consequences, and operational disruptions. Additionally, the lack of vendor patches means organizations must rely on compensating controls, increasing operational complexity.

Organizations using itsourcecode Online Clinic Management System version 1.0 should immediately assess their exposure to this vulnerability. Since no official patches are currently available, the following mitigations are recommended: 1) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the /details.php endpoint and the 'ID' parameter. 2) Employ strict input validation and sanitization at the application or proxy level to reject suspicious input patterns. 3) Restrict external access to the management system by network segmentation and VPN access controls to limit exposure to trusted users only. 4) Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated failed attempts to exploit the ID parameter. 5) Consider upgrading or migrating to a more secure and actively maintained clinic management system if possible. 6) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on injection vulnerabilities. 7) Prepare an incident response plan to quickly contain and remediate any exploitation attempts. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on compensating controls and network-level protections given the absence of vendor patches.
