AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0, the document controller’s patientpicture context serves the patient’s photo by document ID or patient ID without verifying that the current user is authorized to access that patient. An authenticated user with document ACL can supply another patient’s ID and retrieve their photo. Version 8.0.0 fixes the issue.

OpenEMR 7.0.1 contains an authentication brute force vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass rate limiting protections by sending repeated login attempts to the main login endpoint. Attackers can submit POST requests with authUser and clearPass parameters to systematically test username and password combinations without account lockout restrictions.

Malicious File Upload, SQL Injection
AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

OpenEMR through 8.2.0 contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the backup configuration import feature that allows administrators with admin or super ACL privileges to execute arbitrary DDL and DML statements against the application database by uploading a crafted SQL file at the formstep=202 parameter in backup.php. Attackers can exploit the unfiltered shellexec invocation of the mysql command-line client to extract credential hashes, modify access control tables, inject backdoor accounts, create persistent triggers or stored procedures, and write arbitrary files to the filesystem where MySQL FILE privileges and permissive securefilepriv settings are configured.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

OpenEMR through 8.2.0 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the document category tree component (library/classes/Tree.class.php) that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary operating system commands by injecting PHP payloads into the categories database table. Attackers can chain arbitrary SQL execution to alter the id column type to VARCHAR and insert a malicious PHP payload, which is then executed via an unsanitized eval() call whenever any page instantiates CategoryTree, including unauthenticated and low-privilege pages, resulting in command execution as the web server user.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

OpenEMR through 8.2.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows attackers with valid credentials to circumvent multi-factor authentication by exploiting the exposed OAuth2 password grant flow through an unauthenticated client registration endpoint. Attackers can register an OAuth2 client via the unauthenticated registration endpoint and use the password grant to exchange credentials for an API access token, bypassing the normal web interface authentication and any enforced multi-factor authentication controls.

XSS, CSRF
AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N

OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0.1, a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the prescription CSS/HTML multi-print feature allows a patient portal user to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a clinician's browser session. Patient demographic fields (name, address) are rendered without output encoding in multiprintcssheader(), and portal patients can write attacker-controlled HTML directly into patientdata by calling the PUT api/patient/:num endpoint, which bypasses the intended audit review workflow. Because the XSS fires in the clinician's authenticated session on the main OpenEMR interface, the attacker can access CSRF tokens, session data, and perform actions as the clinician — crossing the patient-to-clinician trust boundary. This issue has been patched in version 8.0.0.1.

Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issues were discovered in OpenEMR 5.0.0 and 5.0.1-dev. The vulnerabilities exist due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data passed to the "openemr-master/gacl/admin/objectsearch.php" URL (sectionvalue; srcform). An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website.

An authenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in OpenEMR ≤ 4.1.1 Patch 14 that allows a low-privileged attacker to extract administrator credentials and subsequently escalate privileges. Once elevated, the attacker can exploit an unrestricted file upload flaw to achieve remote code execution, resulting in full compromise of the application and its host system.
