Summary

Hello Sean,

I found out that Unauthorized users can query for every patient they want using the /drpanel/drapi/qp.php endpoint, this leads to unauthorized access to the user's PII

When a doctors logs in the system a warning message is given saying Warning: As your account has been recently registered you will not be able to view patient information yet.

Trying to search for a patient is disabled for a new account

Steps to reproduce

  1. Login as a docter at https://94c48addc2ce-c3phas.a.firstbloodhackers.com/login.php
  2. once logged in you get directed to the dashboard at https://94c48addc2ce-c3phas.a.firstbloodhackers.com/drpanel/index.php
  3. Note the search Patient tab and try to search for a patient and notice the error we get.
  4. Now head over to burp and send a post request to the endpoint /drpanel/drapi/qp.php as below and notice the response now contains all the data

Impact

An attacker can access PII information for all the patients

Any unauthorized user can use this API endpoint to query for patient names and their PII.

An attacker doesn't need to know the name of the patients to query for. if the name parameter is empty all of the patient's data returns

The endpoint qp.php use to respond to GET requests and it should only allow administrators to query for patient information however the developers only fixed the bug partially and it still allowed for doctors to query for patient information. query.php is related to this file and in v1 allowed for Doctors and admins, but query.php was fixed completely whereas qp.php was not.
