Vulnerabilities Identified in Vertikal Systems Hospital Information Management Solution
Vulnerabilities have been identified in the Hospital Manager Backend Services, a hospital information management system from Vertikal Systems. One of the vulnerabilities is a high-severity flaw that can be remotely exploited in a low complexity attack to gain access to and disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerabilities affect Hospital Manager Backend Services prior to September 19, 2025. The vulnerabilities have been fixed in the September 19, 2025, release and future releases. Users should ensure that their product is up to date and should contact Vertikal Systems for assistance with fixing the flaws.
The most serious vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2025-54459 and has been assigned a CVSS v4 base score of 8.7 (CVSS v3.1 base score 7.5). The flaw is due to the product exposing sensitive information to an unauthorized control sphere. Hospital Manager Backend Services exposed the ASP.NET tracing endpoint /trace.axd without authentication, which means a remote attacker can obtain live request traces and sensitive information such as request metadata, session identifiers, authorization headers, server variables, and internal file paths.
The second flaw is tracked as CVE-2025-61959 and is a medium-severity vulnerability with a CVSS v4 base score of 6.9 (CVSS v3.1 base score: 5.3), due to the generation of error messages containing sensitive information. Hospital Manager Backend Services returned verbose ASP.NET error pages for invalid WebResource.axd requests, disclosing framework and ASP.NET version information, stack traces, internal paths, and the insecure configuration ‘customErrors mode=”Off”‘, which could have facilitated reconnaissance by unauthenticated attackers.
