CVE-2025-47631 is a high-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment) affecting the mojoomla Hospital Management System, specifically version 47.0(20. This vulnerability allows an attacker with limited privileges (low-level privileges) to escalate their access rights without requiring user interaction. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable (network attack vector) and does not require user interaction, making it particularly dangerous. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.8, indicating a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw arises from improper assignment or enforcement of user privileges within the system, enabling unauthorized users to gain elevated access. This could allow attackers to access sensitive patient data, modify hospital records, disrupt hospital operations, or execute administrative functions that should be restricted. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a prime target for attackers once exploit code becomes available. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. Given the critical nature of hospital management systems in healthcare delivery, exploitation could have severe consequences for patient privacy, data integrity, and operational continuity.

For European healthcare organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the sensitive nature of the data managed by hospital systems, including personal health information protected under GDPR. Unauthorized privilege escalation could lead to large-scale data breaches, exposing patient records and violating privacy regulations, potentially resulting in heavy fines and reputational damage. Additionally, attackers could disrupt hospital workflows, affecting patient care and safety. The impact extends beyond data confidentiality to integrity and availability, as attackers might alter medical records or disable critical system functions. Given the interconnectedness of healthcare IT infrastructure, exploitation could also facilitate lateral movement within networks, increasing the scope of compromise. The high CVSS score reflects the potential for widespread harm, making it imperative for European hospitals using mojoomla Hospital Management System to prioritize mitigation efforts.

1. Immediate implementation of strict access control policies to limit user privileges to the minimum necessary, employing the principle of least privilege. 2. Conduct thorough audits of user roles and permissions within the mojoomla Hospital Management System to identify and remediate any excessive privilege assignments. 3. Deploy network segmentation to isolate the hospital management system from other critical infrastructure, reducing the attack surface. 4. Monitor system logs and user activities closely for signs of privilege escalation attempts or anomalous behavior. 5. Until an official patch is released, consider applying virtual patching techniques via Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to detect and block exploitation attempts. 6. Engage with mojoomla vendor support channels to obtain updates on patch availability and apply them promptly once released. 7. Educate system administrators and security teams about this vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include scenarios involving privilege escalation attacks. 8. Regularly update and harden the underlying operating systems and network devices to reduce the risk of exploitation through chained vulnerabilities.
