Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in mojoomla Hospital Management System allows Privilege Escalation. This issue affects Hospital Management System: from 47.0(20 through 11.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Incorrect privilege assignment in mojoomla Hospital Management System allows authenticated users to escalate their privileges beyond what their assigned role should permit. This is a broken access control vulnerability where the application fails to properly enforce authorization checks at privilege-sensitive operations.

MitigationImplement proper role-based access control (RBAC) with consistent authorization checks at every privilege-sensitive operation. Until a vendor patch is available, restrict administrative access to essential personnel and monitor for suspicious privilege escalation attempts.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed Hospital Management System version
    Access the admin dashboard or system information page, or check the application footer/header for version number. If CLI access is available, check configuration files or database for version metadata.
    Affected if The installed version is version 11 or later (any version in this range is affected by the privilege escalation flaw)
  2. Verify user role configuration in the database
    Query the users or roles table in the database to review the role assignments for all user accounts. Look for any accounts with elevated roles that do not match expected administrative designations.
    Affected if Any authenticated user account has been assigned a higher privilege role than what was originally intended, or unexpected admin-level role assignments exist for non-admin users
  3. Test for privilege escalation via accessible endpoints
    Using a low-privilege authenticated user account, attempt to access administrative endpoints or execute administrative functions that should be restricted to admin roles. Common endpoints include /admin, /user-management, /settings, or API routes for system configuration.
    Affected if A non-administrative user account can access administrative functions, modify system settings, or view sensitive patient data beyond their authorized scope
  4. Review audit logs for privilege escalation activity
    Examine system audit logs or access logs for records of privilege changes, administrative actions performed by standard users, or unauthorized access to sensitive healthcare records.
    Affected if Logs show administrative actions or privilege modifications performed by users who should not have such access

You are affected if the Hospital Management System version is 11 or higher and low-privilege authenticated users can access administrative functions or escalate their role permissions beyond what was assigned.
