Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
SQL injection in OpenEMR versions before 8.0.0 allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary database queries through the prescription listing feature due to improper input validation. An attacker with valid credentials could exploit this to read, modify, or delete sensitive medical records and patient data. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability; administrators should upgrade to version 8.0.0 immediately.
