Summary
The KiviCare – Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to and including 4.5.0 due to insufficient escaping and lack of proper SQL query preparation. This allows authenticated attackers with Doctor-level access or higher to append additional SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive database information.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential theft of sensitive patient and clinic data, including medical records, personal information, and financial data, by users with Doctor, Receptionist, or Clinic Admin roles.
Recommendation
Immediately update the KiviCare plugin to a version newer than 4.5.0 if available, or apply temporary mitigations such as restricting REST API access to trusted users.

Original NVD description (English source)
The KiviCare – Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Doctor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Exploitation requires a KiviCare Doctor, Receptionist, or Clinic Admin role at minimum, as the vulnerable REST endpoint is restricted to authenticated users with custom plugin-level access.
