CVE-2026-15453: 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 'searchTerm' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.1 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 custom-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 custom role with the 'settings_view' permission (e.g., Doctor or Receptionist), meaning standard WordPress subscribers cannot exploit this without a KiviCare-assigned role.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The KiviCare plugin for WordPress suffers from an SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the 'searchTerm' parameter due to insufficient escaping and lack of proper query preparation. Authenticated users with specific KiviCare roles (custom-level access with 'settings_view' permission) can append malicious SQL commands to existing queries, potentially exposing sensitive data from the database. This affects all plugin versions up to and including 4.5.1. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided by the vendor.
Potential Impact
An attacker with a KiviCare custom role having 'settings_view' permission can exploit this vulnerability to extract sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability does not allow privilege escalation or denial of service but compromises confidentiality of data accessible via SQL queries. Standard WordPress users without the required KiviCare roles cannot exploit this flaw.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict assignment of KiviCare roles with 'settings_view' permission to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
