OpenEMR 7.0.2 is vulnerable to SQL Injection via \openemr\library\classes\Pharmacy.class.php, \controllers\C_Pharmacy.class.php and \openemr\controller.php.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using OpenEMR 7.0.2 face critical risk from CVE-2024-22611, a SQL injection vulnerability rated CVSS 9.8. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. Organizations should apply vendor updates immediately when available and implement compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Deploy WAF rules to block injection patterns; (2) Restrict network access to affected components; (3) Enable enhanced logging for suspicious activity.
