DescriptionGitHub Advisory

OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to 8.0.0.2, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the patient portal payment flow allows a patient portal user to persist arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the browser of a staff member who reviews the payment submission. The payload is stored via portal/lib/paylib.php and rendered without escaping in portal/portal_payment.php. Version 8.0.0.2 fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in OpenEMR's patient portal payment flow allows authenticated patient users to inject malicious JavaScript that executes when staff members review payment submissions. The vulnerability affects OpenEMR versions prior to 8.0.0.2 and enables attackers to compromise staff accounts, potentially accessing sensitive medical records and administrative functions. No evidence of active exploitation exists, and no KEV listing or public POC has been identified.

Technical ContextAI

OpenEMR is an open-source electronic health records and medical practice management application identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:openemr:openemr. The vulnerability stems from improper input validation and output encoding (CWE-79) in the PHP-based patient portal payment workflow. Specifically, user-supplied data is stored through portal/lib/paylib.php without proper sanitization and subsequently rendered in portal/portal_payment.php without HTML entity encoding, allowing JavaScript payloads to execute in the context of staff browsers.

RemediationAI

Upgrade OpenEMR to version 8.0.0.2 or later, which includes the security fix documented in commit 6e9e1566d6e271a6d839614674b887e3a73d7da1. Until patching is possible, consider implementing input validation rules at the web application firewall level to filter potentially malicious JavaScript in payment-related fields, and ensure staff are trained to recognize suspicious payment submissions.
