Account access via client-trusted authentication response
Published Apr 29, 2026 · Updated Apr 29, 2026
Authentication bypass in C-DAC e-Sushrut HMIS previous versions allows remote attackers to access user accounts without valid credentials. The authentication flow trusts client-side response parameters to decide whether authentication succeeded, so intercepted server responses can be altered to report success. Network access and the ability to intercept and modify a login response are required; successful exploitation exposes the targeted account and its data.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
