CVE-2025-39386 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) found in the mojoomla Hospital Management System. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. The affected product versions include all versions up to 47.0 (dated 20-11-2023). The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.3, indicating a critical severity level. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L) shows that the attack can be launched remotely over the network without any authentication or user interaction, with low attack complexity. The scope is changed, meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact on confidentiality is high, allowing attackers to read sensitive data from the backend database, while integrity impact is none and availability impact is low. Although no known exploits are reported in the wild yet, the nature of SQL Injection vulnerabilities makes them highly exploitable and dangerous, especially in healthcare environments where sensitive patient data is stored. The vulnerability could allow attackers to extract confidential patient records, potentially violating privacy regulations and causing reputational damage. Additionally, attackers might leverage this flaw to perform further attacks such as privilege escalation or lateral movement within the network.

For European organizations, especially hospitals and healthcare providers using the mojoomla Hospital Management System, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive patient information, violating GDPR and other data protection laws, resulting in legal penalties and loss of trust. The critical confidentiality impact means attackers can access protected health information (PHI), which is highly regulated in Europe. Even though the integrity impact is none, the exposure of confidential data alone can cause severe operational and financial consequences. The low availability impact suggests limited disruption to system operations, but data breaches alone are sufficient to cause major harm. Given the healthcare sector's importance and the increasing targeting of medical infrastructure by cybercriminals and nation-state actors, this vulnerability could be leveraged for espionage, ransomware deployment, or sabotage. European healthcare organizations must prioritize addressing this vulnerability to maintain compliance and protect patient safety.

1. Immediate patching: Organizations should monitor mojoomla for official patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-39386 and apply them promptly once available. 2. Input validation and parameterized queries: Until patches are available, administrators should review and harden any custom code or database queries to ensure proper input sanitization and use of prepared statements or parameterized queries to prevent SQL Injection. 3. Web application firewall (WAF): Deploy or update WAF rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the Hospital Management System. 4. Network segmentation: Isolate the Hospital Management System backend databases from general network access to limit exposure. 5. Monitoring and logging: Enhance monitoring of database queries and application logs to detect unusual or suspicious activities indicative of exploitation attempts. 6. Access controls: Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce the impact of a potential injection attack. 7. Incident response readiness: Prepare incident response plans specific to data breaches involving patient data to ensure rapid containment and notification in case of exploitation.
