Appointment enumeration via distinguishable error responses
Published Mar 19, 2024 · Updated Apr 10, 2025
Information disclosure in OpenClinic GA 5.247.01 allows remote attackers to enumerate appointments through crafted web requests. The printAppointmentPdf.jsp endpoint returns distinguishable error messages when AppointmentUid identifies an existing appointment rather than a nonexistent one. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the bounded consequence is disclosure of whether particular appointment identifiers exist.
