CVE-2026-15073: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in iqonicdesign KiviCare – Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR)
The KiviCare – Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Doctor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Exploitation requires a KiviCare Doctor, Receptionist, or Clinic Admin role at minimum, as the vulnerable REST endpoint is restricted to authenticated users with custom plugin-level access.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The KiviCare plugin for WordPress (versions <=4.5.0) suffers from an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the 'orderby' parameter. Insufficient escaping of user-supplied input and lack of proper query preparation allow authenticated users with roles Doctor, Receptionist, or Clinic Admin to append arbitrary SQL commands to existing queries. This can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive database information. The vulnerability affects the plugin's REST endpoint, which is accessible only to authenticated users with specific plugin-level permissions. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated access at Doctor-level or higher can exploit this vulnerability to extract sensitive information from the database by injecting malicious SQL through the 'orderby' parameter. The vulnerability does not impact availability or integrity but compromises confidentiality of data stored in the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the vulnerable REST endpoint to only trusted users and monitor for unusual activity from users with Doctor, Receptionist, or Clinic Admin roles. Avoid granting elevated plugin roles unnecessarily.
