CVE-2025-2664 Overview
CVE-2025-2664 is a SQL injection vulnerability in CodeZips Hospital Management System 1.0. The flaw resides in the /suadpeted.php script, where the ID parameter is concatenated into a SQL query without proper sanitization. An authenticated remote attacker can manipulate the ID argument to inject arbitrary SQL statements. The exploit details have been publicly disclosed, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic abuse against exposed deployments. The weakness is tracked under [CWE-89] (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and [CWE-74] (Injection).
Critical Impact
Attackers can read, modify, or delete patient records and other sensitive data stored in the hospital management database through crafted requests to /suadpeted.php.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-2664
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability exists in the /suadpeted.php endpoint of CodeZips Hospital Management System 1.0. The script accepts an ID GET parameter and embeds it directly into a SQL query string without parameterization or input validation. An authenticated attacker can submit crafted ID values to alter the query logic, exfiltrate database contents, or modify records.
Successful exploitation gives attackers read and write access to the underlying MySQL database. Because hospital management systems store personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI), the data confidentiality and integrity consequences are significant despite the medium base score.
The attack requires network access and valid credentials to reach the vulnerable page. No user interaction is required. The technical analysis posted to the GitHub SQL Injection Analysis repository documents the injection point and provides proof-of-concept payloads.
Root Cause
The root cause is the use of unsanitized user input in dynamic SQL statement construction. The ID parameter from the HTTP request is concatenated into a SQL query without prepared statements, parameter binding, or escaping. This violates secure coding practices for database access and maps directly to [CWE-89].
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network based and targets the /suadpeted.php endpoint. An attacker with low-privilege authenticated access sends a crafted HTTP request that includes a malicious ID value containing SQL syntax such as UNION SELECT, boolean conditions, or stacked queries. The injected payload executes within the application's database context. Additional analysis is available at VulDB #300686.
No verified exploitation code is included here. Refer to the published GitHub analysis for technical proof-of-concept details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-2664
Indicators of Compromise
- HTTP requests to /suadpeted.php containing SQL keywords such as UNION, SELECT, SLEEP, --, or OR 1=1 in the ID parameter.
- Unusual database query patterns or query errors logged by the MySQL backend originating from the hospital management application.
- Unexpected data modification or large data reads from tables containing patient records.
Detection Strategies
- Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection signatures tuned to inspect query string parameters on PHP endpoints.
- Enable verbose web server access logging and alert on non-numeric values submitted to the ID parameter of /suadpeted.php.
- Correlate authentication events with anomalous request patterns to identify abuse of compromised low-privilege accounts.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor MySQL query logs for malformed statements, syntax errors, and queries containing concatenated user input.
- Track outbound data volume from the application server to detect mass database extraction.
- Alert on privilege changes, new user creation, or schema modifications within the hospital management database.
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-2664
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict network access to the CodeZips Hospital Management System to trusted internal networks or VPN users only.
- Audit application logs for past requests to /suadpeted.php containing suspicious ID values.
- Rotate credentials for all application and database accounts that may have been exposed.
- Review the database for unauthorized modifications, new accounts, or extracted records.
Patch Information
No official vendor patch is listed in the NVD entry or referenced advisories for CVE-2025-2664. Operators should contact CodeZips directly or evaluate alternative hospital management platforms. Until a patch is available, code-level remediation requires replacing dynamic SQL with parameterized queries using PHP Data Objects (PDO) or mysqli prepared statements, and validating that the ID parameter is a strict integer.
Workarounds
- Place the application behind a WAF configured to block SQL injection patterns on the ID parameter.
- Apply input validation at the reverse proxy layer to reject non-integer values for ID.
- Restrict the database user account used by the application to read-only privileges where business logic allows, limiting injection impact.
- Disable or remove the /suadpeted.php endpoint if it is not required for operations.
