CVE-2025-66095 identifies a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the KiviCare clinic management system by Iqonic Design, affecting all versions up to and including 3.6.13. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code. This can enable unauthorized access to backend databases, allowing attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive patient and operational data. The vulnerability does not require authentication, increasing its risk profile. Although no public exploits have been reported, the nature of SQL Injection vulnerabilities makes them relatively straightforward to exploit using automated tools. The lack of an official patch or mitigation guidance at the time of publication increases exposure. KiviCare is used in healthcare environments, where data confidentiality and integrity are paramount. Exploitation could lead to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance, and operational disruption. The vulnerability underscores the need for secure coding practices such as using parameterized queries, input validation, and least privilege database access. Detection mechanisms should include monitoring for anomalous SQL queries and unusual database activity. Given the criticality of healthcare data, this vulnerability demands urgent attention from affected organizations.

For European organizations, especially those in the healthcare sector using KiviCare, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to patient data confidentiality and integrity. Exploitation could result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive medical records, manipulation or deletion of clinical data, and disruption of healthcare services. This could lead to severe regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data breaches, reputational damage, and loss of patient trust. Operational impacts may include downtime or degraded system performance if attackers execute destructive SQL commands. The healthcare sector's critical role in public safety amplifies the potential consequences of exploitation. Additionally, attackers could use the compromised system as a foothold for further network intrusion or ransomware deployment. The absence of authentication requirements for exploitation broadens the attack surface, increasing the likelihood of attacks from both external and internal threat actors. European healthcare providers must therefore consider this vulnerability a high priority for risk management and incident response planning.

Organizations should immediately audit their KiviCare installations to identify affected versions and isolate vulnerable systems. Implementing parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application's database access code is essential to prevent SQL Injection. Input validation should be enforced rigorously on all user-supplied data, including sanitization of special characters. Until an official patch is released, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL Injection detection rules tailored to KiviCare's query patterns. Monitor database logs and application behavior for unusual or unauthorized SQL commands indicative of exploitation attempts. Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any successful injection. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on injection flaws. Educate development teams on secure coding practices and integrate security testing into the software development lifecycle. Finally, prepare incident response plans specific to data breaches involving healthcare information to ensure rapid containment and notification compliance.
