## Overview

The KiviCare – Clinic & Patient Management System (EHR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.0 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 Doctor-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 Doctor, Receptionist, or Clinic Admin role at minimum, as the vulnerable REST endpoint is restricted to authenticated users with custom plugin-level access.

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
