CVE-2022-2297 is a critical unrestricted file upload vulnerability in SourceCodester Clinics Patient Management System 2.0. The issue affects the /pms/update_user.php endpoint when invoked with a user_id parameter, as in /pms/update_user.php?user_id=1. The vulnerable parameter is profile_picture. An attacker can manipulate this argument to upload a crafted PHP file, such as one containing <?php phpinfo();?>, indicating that server-executable files can be accepted and stored. Because the uploaded content is PHP, the flaw can lead to execution of attacker-supplied code on the web server if the uploaded file is placed in a web-accessible location and processed by the PHP runtime. The available information states that the attack can be launched remotely and that public exploit disclosure exists.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (clinic_pms_sqli_to_rce.rb) that exploits unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerabilities in Clinic's Patient Management System (PMS) version 2.0 (and possibly 1.0). The exploit leverages an SQL injection vulnerability in the login portal to authenticate as an admin user, then abuses the user modification functionality to upload a malicious PHP payload as a profile picture. The payload is then executed to achieve RCE. The module is operational and supports customizable PHP payloads via the Metasploit framework. The main endpoints targeted are the login page (/pms/index.php), user update page (/pms/update_user.php), and logout page (/pms/logout.php). The exploit is associated with CVE-2022-2297 and CVE-2025-3096. The code is well-structured, leverages Metasploit's HttpClient and FileDropper mixins, and includes options for cleaning up uploaded files after exploitation.
