What it is

⚡ An authenticated attacker can upload malicious PHP plugins, turning the Chikitsa Patient Management System into an execution playground! 🔥 Think of the module upload functionality like a restaurant that allows delivery drivers to drop off ingredients without checking their origin. If an attacker can deliver a spoiled batch (the malicious PHP script), they can cook up something disastrous in the kitchen (your server). With this vulnerability, an attacker could unleash a world of chaos—gaining arbitrary command execution on the server, accessing sensitive patient data, or even shutting down the entire system. This could lead to devastating consequences for patient management and trust!
