Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Versions prior to 8.0.0.2 are vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) via unescaped portal_login_username in the portal credential print view. A patient portal user can set their login username to an XSS payload, which then executes in a clinic staff member's browser when they open the "Create Portal Login" page for that patient. This crosses from the patient session context into the staff/admin session context. Version 8.0.0.2 fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
Stored XSS in OpenEMR versions before 8.0.0.2 allows authenticated patient portal users to inject malicious scripts into their login username, which execute in the browsers of clinic staff when viewing the portal credential creation page. This vulnerability enables attackers to compromise staff and admin sessions through the patient context, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data manipulation within the healthcare system. A patch is available in version 8.0.0.2 and later.
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.
