CodeAstro Hospital Management System Add Patient Details Page his_admin_register_patient.php cross site scripting

An attacker can exploit this XSS vulnerability by crafting malicious patient data containing JavaScript code. When a user with appropriate privileges views the modified patient record, the injected script will execute within their browser context. This could lead to session hijacking, redirection to phishing sites, or the theft of sensitive information displayed on the page. The impact is amplified if the application is used to manage patient records containing Personally Identifiable Information (PII), potentially leading to data breaches and regulatory compliance issues. Successful exploitation could also allow an attacker to deface the application or perform actions on behalf of the affected user.

Hospitals and healthcare providers using CodeAstro Hospital Management System version 1.0 are at risk. Organizations relying on this system to manage patient data, particularly those with limited security expertise or outdated infrastructure, are especially vulnerable. Shared hosting environments where multiple applications share the same server resources may also be at increased risk.

• php: Examine the hisadminregisterpatient.php file for unsanitized input handling of patfname, patailment, patlname, patage, patdob, patnumber, patphone, pattype, and pataddr parameters.

// Example: Check for suspicious characters
if (preg_match('/<.*?>/', $_POST['pat_fname'])) {
  // Log or block the request
}

• generic web: Monitor access logs for requests to /backend/admin/hisadminregister_patient.php containing unusual or encoded characters in the URL parameters. • generic web: Inspect the HTML source code of the patient details page for any unexpected JavaScript code or event handlers.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2024-11675 is to upgrade CodeAstro Hospital Management System to version 1.0.1, which includes the necessary fix. If upgrading immediately is not possible, consider implementing input validation and sanitization on the Add Patient Details Page to prevent the injection of malicious scripts. Web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block XSS payloads can provide an additional layer of protection. Regularly review and update input validation routines to address potential bypasses.
