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.
Other vulnerabilities in KiviCare
See all- CVE-2026-13611Medium
The KiviCare WordPress plugin before 4.5.5 does not perform authorization checks on some of its REST endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to disclose the patient roster and, when a payment gateway is configured, the payment gateway secret key.
- CVE-2026-13610High
The KiviCare WordPress plugin before version 4.5.2 does not restrict the roles assignable through its unauthenticated registration endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to create an active, privileged clinic-staff (doctor) account with full access to patient records, billing and clinic data.
- CVE-2026-13613High
The KiviCare WordPress plugin before 4.5.2 does not properly sanitise and escape user-supplied parameters before using them in a SQL query. Authenticated users with a clinic staff-level role can perform SQL injection.
- CVE-2026-13612Medium
The KiviCare WordPress plugin before 4.5.2 does not verify that the requesting user owns the records being accessed. Authenticated patient-level users can read other patients' bills, invoices and appointment details.
- CVE-2026-15073Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-15072Medium
The KiviCare – Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL injection via the 'orderby' parameter in versions up to and including 4.5.0. This is due to insufficient escaping and lack of proper SQL query preparation.
- CVE-2026-11990Medium
The KiviCare – Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress up to version 4.4.0 inclusive contains an authorization bypass vulnerability. Unauthenticated attackers can mark arbitrary pending appointments as Confirmed and forge associated payment records, bypassing payment entirely.
- CVE-2026-40792Medium
In KiviCare versions <= 4.2.1, there is a vulnerability related to Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) for subscribers.
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.
