Authenticated code execution via unsanitized page include
Published Jan 7, 2024 · Updated Jun 9, 2025
Local file inclusion in SourceCodester Clinic Queuing System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through the page parameter. In index.php, the page value is concatenated with .php and passed directly to PHP include(), allowing stream-wrapper filter chains to supply executable content. The inclusion request requires an authenticated session; the published exploit obtains one by chaining a separate authorization bypass, then runs commands under the web-server account.
