CVE-2026-105386 in HospitalManagementSystem
Summary
by MITRE • 10/05/2026
A vulnerability was identified in onetwothreeneth HospitalManagementSystem up to 9ef91ed6007314b6473110ed699dff76d158f61d. Affected by this issue is the function get of the file print.php. The manipulation of the argument transaction_id leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
Analysis

The identified vulnerability resides within the print.php file of the onetwothreeneth HospitalManagementSystem, specifically affecting versions up to commit hash 9ef91ed6007314b6473110ed699dff76d158f61d. This software utilizes a rolling release model for continuous delivery, which means that traditional version numbering is not applicable, and consequently, no specific fixed versions are available to mitigate the issue. The project maintainers were notified via an early issue report but have yet to respond or provide a patch, leaving users of this open-source hospital management solution exposed to significant security risks without official remediation guidance from the developers.
The core technical flaw is classified as SQL injection (CWE-89), triggered by improper input validation and sanitization within the get function of print.php. The vulnerability arises when an attacker manipulates the transaction_id argument, allowing malicious SQL commands to be injected into backend database queries. Because this parameter is likely passed directly from user-supplied HTTP GET requests without adequate filtering or the use of prepared statements with parameterized queries, the application fails to distinguish between executable code and data input. This lack of separation allows an attacker to alter the intended logic of the database query, potentially bypassing authentication controls, retrieving sensitive patient records, modifying hospital administrative data, or even executing commands on the underlying operating system depending on the database configuration and privileges.
From a tactical perspective, this vulnerability is exploitable remotely (ATT&CK T1190: Exploit Public-Facing Application), as it requires no prior access to the application's internal network or user credentials beyond what might be publicly accessible through standard web interactions. The fact that an exploit for this specific flaw is already publicly available significantly elevates the risk profile, enabling automated scanning tools and opportunistic attackers to target instances of this software across the internet with minimal effort. In a healthcare context, such as a hospital management system, successful exploitation could lead to severe consequences including data breaches of protected health information (PHI), disruption of clinical workflows through database corruption or denial of service, and potential regulatory violations regarding patient privacy laws like HIPAA in the United States or GDPR in Europe.
Given that no official patch is available from the project maintainers due to their lack of response, mitigation strategies must be implemented at the infrastructure and application configuration levels rather than relying on software updates. Organizations running this system should immediately implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules designed to detect and block SQL injection patterns within transaction_id parameters. Additionally, input validation mechanisms should be enforced server-side to reject any non-numeric or unexpected characters in fields that are expected to contain only integer values for transaction identifiers. Database access privileges must also be reviewed to ensure the application user account operates with minimal necessary permissions, preventing attackers from leveraging elevated database rights even if injection is successful. Regular monitoring of database logs for anomalous query patterns can aid in early detection of exploitation attempts while a long-term solution or migration to a more actively maintained hospital management system is pursued.
