Title
Sensitive Data Exposure Vulnerability in e-Sushrut HMIS
Summary
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.
