CVE-2026-2706 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in the Patient Record Management System version 1.0 developed by code-projects. The vulnerability resides in the /fecalysis_not.php file, specifically in the handling of the comp_id parameter. This parameter is vulnerable to malicious input that can manipulate SQL queries executed by the backend database. The flaw allows an attacker to remotely inject arbitrary SQL commands without requiring authentication or user interaction, which can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium), reflecting the network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but present, as the attacker can partially compromise these aspects. Although no active exploitation has been reported, the availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of future attacks. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the software, and no official patches have been published yet. The lack of secure coding practices such as input validation and parameterized queries is the root cause. This vulnerability is particularly concerning in healthcare environments where patient data confidentiality and system availability are critical.

For European organizations, especially those in the healthcare sector using the affected Patient Record Management System, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive patient data, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The injection could allow attackers to extract confidential information, alter patient records, or disrupt system availability, impacting patient care and trust. Even partial compromise of data integrity could lead to misdiagnosis or treatment errors. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the attack surface, making it easier for threat actors to target vulnerable systems. Additionally, the publication of exploit code may lead to increased scanning and exploitation attempts across Europe. The reputational damage and regulatory penalties following a breach could be significant. Organizations with limited cybersecurity resources or outdated systems are particularly vulnerable.

Organizations should immediately audit their Patient Record Management System installations to identify affected versions. Since no official patches are available, implement the following mitigations: (1) Apply strict input validation and sanitization on the comp_id parameter to reject malicious input. (2) Refactor database queries to use parameterized statements or prepared queries to prevent injection. (3) Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit damage from potential injection. (4) Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint. (5) Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated access to /fecalysis_not.php with suspicious parameters. (6) Plan for an upgrade or patch deployment once the vendor releases a fix. (7) Conduct security awareness training for developers and administrators about secure coding and vulnerability management. (8) Isolate the affected system from public networks if possible until mitigations are in place.
