A SQL Injection vulnerability has been identified in SourceCodester Simple Doctors Appointment System version 1.0. This flaw resides within the /admin/login.php file and allows attackers to manipulate the Username argument, potentially leading to unauthorized access and data compromise. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and a public proof-of-concept exists, increasing the risk of exploitation.
The impact of CVE-2026-5179 is significant due to the nature of SQL Injection. A successful exploit allows an attacker to bypass authentication and gain access to the application's database. This could lead to the theft of sensitive patient data, appointment schedules, and administrative credentials. Furthermore, an attacker could potentially modify or delete data, disrupting the system's functionality. The remote accessibility of the vulnerability amplifies the risk, as it can be exploited from anywhere with network access. Given the sensitive nature of healthcare data, a breach resulting from this vulnerability could have severe legal and reputational consequences. The public availability of an exploit increases the likelihood of widespread exploitation.
CVE-2026-5179 was published on 2026-03-31. The vulnerability is considered HIGH severity with a CVSS score of 7.3. A public exploit is already available, significantly increasing the risk of exploitation. While no specific campaigns or threat actors have been publicly linked to this vulnerability, the public availability of the exploit suggests a high probability of exploitation in the wild. Monitor security advisories from SourceCodester for updates and patches.
Small to medium-sized clinics and healthcare providers using the Simple Doctors Appointment System are at significant risk. Specifically, those running unpatched instances of version 1.0 or those relying solely on default configurations without implementing additional security measures are particularly vulnerable. Shared hosting environments where multiple clients share the same server resources also increase the potential for lateral movement and broader impact.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2026-5179 is to upgrade to a patched version of SourceCodester Simple Doctors Appointment System as soon as it becomes available. Until an upgrade is possible, implement temporary workarounds to reduce the risk. Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the /admin/login.php endpoint. Input validation and sanitization on the 'Username' parameter are crucial; ensure all user-supplied input is properly validated and escaped before being used in SQL queries. Consider implementing parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL Injection vulnerabilities. Monitor application logs for suspicious activity, such as unusual SQL queries or failed login attempts. After implementing WAF rules or input validation, test the login functionality with various malicious inputs to confirm the mitigation is effective.
Actualizar a una versión parcheada del sistema de citas médicas. Si no hay una versión disponible, revisar y sanear las entradas del usuario en el archivo login.php, especialmente el campo Username, para prevenir la inyección SQL. Considerar el uso de consultas parametrizadas o un ORM para mitigar el riesgo.
