Low risk17th percentile - higher than 17% of all known CVEs
Summary
The KiviCare plugin for WordPress up to version 4.5.1 is vulnerable to generic SQL injection via the 'searchTerm' parameter. Authenticated attackers with custom-level access can append additional SQL queries to extract sensitive information from the database.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes leakage of medical and other confidential data stored in the database. However, exploitation requires a KiviCare custom role with 'settings_view' permission, such as Doctor or Receptionist.
Recommendation
Update the plugin to the latest patched version. Also, restrict role assignments and regularly audit user permissions.
Original NVD description (English source)
The KiviCare – Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'searchTerm' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.1 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 custom-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 custom role with the 'settings_view' permission (e.g., Doctor or Receptionist), meaning standard WordPress subscribers cannot exploit this without a KiviCare-assigned role.
