CVE-2025-63497
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 · uneditedThe patient prescription viewing functionality in his_doc_view_single_patient.php of rickxy Hospital Management System version 1.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability. The pat_number GET parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without proper sanitization, allowing authenticated attackers (doctor role) to execute arbitrary SQL queries.
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 · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the patient prescription viewing functionality of rickxy Hospital Management System v1.0. The pat_number GET parameter in his_doc_view_single_patient.php is directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterized queries, allowing authenticated doctors to inject and execute arbitrary SQL statements.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Rickxy Hospital Management System v1.0 is installedLocate the web application directory and identify if the hospital management system is present. Check for version indicator in any readme, about page, or admin panel.Affected if The system is Rickxy Hospital Management System version 1.0
-
Locate the vulnerable scriptSearch for the file his_doc_view_single_patient.php in the web application directory structure.Affected if The file his_doc_view_single_patient.php exists in the application
-
Verify pat_number parameter usageOpen his_doc_view_single_patient.php and search for SQL query construction involving the pat_number GET parameter. Look for direct concatenation like $_GET['pat_number'] inside SQL statements without prepare() or binding.Affected if The pat_number GET parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without parameterized queries or sanitization
-
Confirm doctor authentication is enabledCheck if the application has an active doctor authentication system. Verify that his_doc_view_single_patient.php is accessible only to authenticated doctors.Affected if Doctors can authenticate and access the vulnerable page
-
Check database user privilegesReview the database configuration to determine what privileges the application database user has.Affected if The database user has broad privileges beyond read-only access to patient prescription data
If Rickxy Hospital Management System v1.0 is installed, the file his_doc_view_single_patient.php exists, and the pat_number parameter is used in SQL queries without parameterized preparation, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace direct string concatenation with parameterized queries (prepared statements) for the pat_number parameter. Implement strict input validation and apply least-privilege principles to the database user.
