CVE-2026-15453
KiviCare <= 4.5.1 - Authenticated (Doctor+) SQL Injection via 'searchTerm' Parameter
- Published
- Updated
- Reserved
- Assigned by
- Wordfence
Description
The KiviCare – Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'searchTerm' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Exploitation requires a KiviCare custom role with the 'settings_view' permission (e.g., Doctor or Receptionist), meaning standard WordPress subscribers cannot exploit this without a KiviCare-assigned role.
