Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to 8.0.0.2, users with the Notes - my encounters role can fill Eye Exam forms in patient encounters. The answers to the form are displayed on the encounter page and in the visit history for the users with the same role. There exists a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the function to display the form answers, allowing any authenticated attacker with the specific role to insert arbitrary JavaScript into the system by entering malicious payloads to the form answers. The JavaScript code is later executed by any user with the form role when viewing the form answers in the patient encounter pages or visit history. Version 8.0.0.2 fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
Stored XSS in OpenEMR prior to 8.0.0.2 allows authenticated users with the "Notes - my encounters" role to inject malicious JavaScript into Eye Exam form fields, which executes when other users with the same role view the form responses. An attacker can exploit this to steal session tokens, perform unauthorized actions, or compromise patient data through form manipulation. No patch is currently available for affected versions.
Technical ContextAI
Cross-site scripting (XSS) allows injection of client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users due to insufficient output encoding.
RemediationAI
Encode all user-supplied output contextually (HTML, JS, URL). Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers. Use HTTPOnly and Secure cookie flags.
