Readycheck to confirm it

The KiviCare Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'visit_type[service_id]' parameter of the tax_calculated_data AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.4 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can execute time-based SQL injection through the visit_type parameter in the tax_calculated_data action to extract the complete clinic database including patient records, medical history, and appointment data.

Fix

To remediate this vulnerability, validate and sanitize all user inputs on the server side before using them in SQL queries. Use prepared statements or stored procedures, and ensure that data is properly escaped.

How to confirm it

Send: GET /
Positive when: contains "/wp-content/plugins/kivicare-clinic-management-system"
Send: @timeout 20s
Positive when: duration>6 and contains_all(body, "status", "message", "total_tax") and contains(content_type, "application/json") and status_code == 200
