Overview
A critical security vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-60736, has been discovered in version 1.0 of the Online Medicine Guide. This vulnerability allows for SQL Injection in the /login.php script, specifically through the upass parameter. This flaw could potentially allow attackers to bypass authentication, extract sensitive data, or even modify the database.
Technical Details
The vulnerability resides in the login.php script of the Online Medicine Guide 1.0 application. The upass parameter, used for handling user passwords during the login process, is susceptible to SQL Injection. Insufficient input validation and sanitization of the upass parameter allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injected code is then executed directly against the database.
An attacker can craft a malicious payload within the upass parameter to manipulate the SQL query executed by the application. For example, a simple SQL injection payload might look like this: ' OR '1'='1. This could result in the authentication check always returning true, granting unauthorized access.
CVSS Analysis
Due to the provided information, a CVSS score is currently unavailable (N/A). Further analysis is required to accurately assess the impact and exploitability of this vulnerability. The absence of a CVSS score doesn’t diminish the importance of addressing this issue promptly.
Possible Impact
The successful exploitation of this SQL Injection vulnerability could have significant consequences, including:
- Unauthorized Access: Attackers could bypass authentication and gain access to user accounts and administrative privileges.
- Data Breach: Sensitive information, such as user credentials, personal details, and medical records, could be stolen.
- Data Modification: Attackers could modify or delete data within the database, leading to data corruption and operational disruptions.
- System Compromise: In severe cases, attackers might gain complete control over the underlying database server.
Mitigation and Patch Steps
To mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2025-60736, the following steps are recommended:
- Input Validation and Sanitization: Implement robust input validation and sanitization techniques on the
upassparameter in thelogin.phpscript. Specifically, use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL Injection. - Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF to detect and block malicious SQL Injection attempts.
- Update Application: Upgrade to a patched version of the Online Medicine Guide software, if available. Check the vendor’s website for updates.
- Principle of Least Privilege: Ensure that the database user account used by the application has only the necessary privileges.
- Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
