Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-15477 is a SQL injection issue in Bahmni bahmnicore’s SQL Search Endpoint. An authenticated remote user may manipulate a parameter to affect database queries. This can expose or alter data and potentially disrupt service. Public exploit material is reported, but active exploitation is not confirmed by KEV or the provided sources.
Executive priority
Treat as a near-term healthcare application risk. Prioritize patching internet-reachable or broadly accessible Bahmni deployments, especially where sensitive patient or operational data is stored. The risk is moderated by authentication requirements but increased by public exploit availability.
Technical view
The issue affects additionalParams in /openmrs/ws/rest/v1/bahmnicore/sql, tied to manipulation of the test argument. It is classified as CWE-89 and CWE-74. The provided CVSS v2 score is 6.5, with network access, low complexity, and single authentication required. VulDB reports proof-of-concept exploit availability and an official fix.
Likely exposure
Organizations running Bahmni bahmnicore, especially systems exposing the bahmnicore SQL Search Endpoint to authenticated users. The description says versions up to 0.93 are affected, while patch guidance names fixed releases across multiple branches; confirm exact branch exposure with vendor guidance.
Exploitation context
The source states the attack can be initiated remotely and that exploit material is public. The CVSS vector indicates authentication is required. There is no KEV listing and no cited evidence of active exploitation in the provided sources.
Researcher notes
Version metadata is somewhat inconsistent: the description says up to 0.93, the submission references 1.3.0, and fixes are listed for several branches. Avoid assuming unaffected status based only on the short description; validate against the vendor advisory and installed branch.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade to the applicable fixed release: 0.93.1, 1.0.1, 1.1.1, 1.2.1, 1.3.1, or 2.0.1.
- Review Bahmni’s GitHub advisory and July 2026 security patch notes for branch-specific guidance.
- Limit access to the affected endpoint to trusted authenticated users where operationally possible.
- Monitor application and database logs for unusual use of the SQL Search Endpoint.
Validation and detection
- Inventory Bahmni bahmnicore deployments and record installed versions.
- Confirm whether /openmrs/ws/rest/v1/bahmnicore/sql is enabled and reachable.
- Verify the installed version matches an applicable fixed release.
- Review logs for suspicious authenticated requests to the affected endpoint.
- Track vendor advisory updates for clarified affected-version details.
