Published: 12 March 2026
Summary
CVE-2019-25473 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 11.9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SC-7 (Boundary Protection).
Deeper analysis
Clinic Pro is affected by CVE-2019-25473, a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the monthly_expense_overview endpoint. The flaw arises from insufficient sanitization of the month parameter in POST requests, enabling attackers to inject malicious SQL code into database queries. This issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), indicating high confidentiality impact with low privileges required.
Authenticated attackers with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. By crafting the month parameter using boolean-based blind, time-based blind, or error-based SQL injection techniques, they can manipulate queries to extract sensitive database information, such as patient records or financial data, without affecting availability.
Advisories and proof-of-concept exploits are documented in references including Exploit-DB (https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46642) and VulnCheck (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/clinic-pro-sql-injection-via-monthly-expense-overview-month-parameter), which detail the injection methods but do not specify patches or mitigations in the available information. Security practitioners should verify vendor updates for Clinic Pro and implement input validation, prepared statements, or web application firewalls to prevent exploitation.
