CVE-2026-42514 Details
Description
This vulnerability exists in e-Sushrut due to exposure of OTPs in plaintext within API responses. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by intercepting API responses containing valid OTPs. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to impersonate the target user and gain unauthorized access to user accounts on the targeted system.
A vulnerability in the C-DAC e-Sushrut Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) allows for the interception of one-time passwords (OTPs) in plaintext within API responses. This exposure could be exploited by a remote attacker to impersonate users and gain unauthorized access to their accounts. The vulnerability arises from inadequate protection of sensitive data in API communications.
Users are advised to contact C-DAC for instructions on upgrading to the latest version of the e-Sushrut HMIS.
