CVE-2026-25022 identifies a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability in the KiviCare clinic management system developed by Iqonic Design. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL code. Blind SQL Injection means the attacker can infer database information by observing application behavior or response times, even if direct output is not visible. The affected product versions include all releases up to and including 3.6.16. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, enabling attackers to access or manipulate sensitive patient records, alter database contents, or disrupt the availability of the system. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the nature of the vulnerability makes it a critical concern for healthcare providers relying on KiviCare for clinical and administrative operations. The lack of a CVSS score indicates the need for a manual severity assessment. Given the healthcare context, the potential for data breaches involving personal health information (PHI) is significant, raising compliance and privacy risks under regulations such as GDPR. The vulnerability underscores the importance of secure coding practices, including proper input validation and use of parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks.

For European organizations, particularly healthcare providers using KiviCare, this vulnerability poses a severe risk to patient data confidentiality and system integrity. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive health information, violating GDPR and other privacy regulations, potentially resulting in legal penalties and loss of patient trust. Data manipulation could disrupt clinical workflows, impacting patient care quality and safety. Availability could also be affected if attackers execute commands that degrade or crash the database. The healthcare sector is a prime target for cyberattacks due to the value of medical data and critical nature of services, increasing the likelihood of targeted exploitation once public awareness grows. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the risk of future attacks remains high. Organizations may also face reputational damage and financial losses from incident response and remediation efforts.

Organizations should immediately inventory their KiviCare installations to identify affected versions (up to 3.6.16). Although no official patch links are currently available, they should monitor vendor advisories and apply patches promptly once released. In the interim, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs interacting with the database, employing parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit potential damage. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL injection detection rules to provide an additional layer of defense. Conduct thorough security testing, including penetration testing and code reviews focused on SQL injection vectors. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect anomalous database queries or suspicious application behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Train developers and administrators on secure coding and configuration practices. Finally, ensure regular backups and incident response plans are in place to recover from potential compromises.
