The manipulation of the argument ID results in sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Hospitals Patient Records Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the ID parameter in /admin/patients/view_history.php. The lack of input sanitization or parameterized queries enables unauthenticated SQL injection attacks.

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 application installationLocate SourceCodester Hospitals Patient Records Management System in your environment - check web server document roots, application directories, or deployment folders for files related to this hospital records systemAffected if The application is not installed or has been removed
-
Verify the application versionCheck the installed version of SourceCodester Hospitals Patient Records Management System - look for version files, about pages, or metadata that identifies the exact version (the vulnerability affects version 1.0)Affected if The installed version is 1.0 and matches the affected product
-
Locate the vulnerable scriptFind the file /admin/patients/view_history.php within the application installation directoryAffected if The file view_history.php exists in the /admin/patients/ directory
-
Verify web accessibilityConfirm the application is accessible via web browser or HTTP request at the expected URL path where view_history.php would be servedAffected if The vulnerable endpoint is web-accessible without proper access controls blocking it
-
Inspect the ID parameter handlingExamine the source code of view_history.php and locate the code handling the ID parameter - check if the application uses parameterized queries/prepared statements or raw SQL concatenation with the ID inputAffected if The ID parameter is used directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or input sanitization
You are affected if you are running SourceCodester Hospitals Patient Records Management System version 1.0 with the view_history.php file accessible via web and the ID parameter handled without parameterized queries.

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 dataFix requires implementing prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database operations involving the ID parameter in view_history.php. Since this is a medical system with public exploits, immediate patching is critical.
