This vulnerability exists in e-Sushrut due to disclosure of sensitive information and hardcoded AES encryption keys in client-side JavaScript. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by accessing the client-side code to extract sensitive information and cryptographic keys.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to exposure of sensitive data and compromise of cryptographic protections on the targeted system.
