CVE-2025-4933 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the ponaravindb Hospital-Management-System, specifically within the /doctor-panel.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'ID' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely without requiring user interaction or authentication. This flaw enables an attacker to manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or disruption of the database's integrity. Although the CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), the vulnerability is classified as critical in the description, indicating that exploitation could have serious consequences in a healthcare context. The attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction needed, making it relatively easy to exploit if the system is exposed. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, and no official patches or mitigations have been published yet. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but public disclosure increases the risk of exploitation attempts.

For European healthcare organizations using ponaravindb Hospital-Management-System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to patient data confidentiality and system integrity. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive medical records, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Data manipulation or deletion could disrupt hospital operations, impacting patient care and safety. The availability of the system could also be affected if attackers leverage the vulnerability to cause database errors or denial of service. Given the critical nature of healthcare data and the regulatory environment in Europe, even a medium CVSS score vulnerability can have outsized consequences. Additionally, reputational damage and legal penalties could result from breaches stemming from this vulnerability.

European organizations should immediately audit their use of ponaravindb Hospital-Management-System to determine if version 1.0 is deployed. If so, they should restrict external network access to the /doctor-panel.php endpoint using firewalls or network segmentation to limit exposure. Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL injection detection and prevention rules can provide a temporary protective layer. Organizations should conduct thorough input validation and parameterized query reviews in their codebase if they have the capability to patch or customize the system. Monitoring logs for suspicious queries or unusual database activity is critical to detect exploitation attempts early. Until an official patch is released, organizations should consider isolating the affected system or migrating to alternative solutions. Engaging with the vendor for timely patch releases and updates is essential. Additionally, regular backups and incident response plans should be reviewed and tested to prepare for potential data recovery needs.
