Description
OpenEMR versions prior to 8.5.0 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows portal patients to inject malicious JavaScript into staff sessions by submitting crafted encounterForm values that are rendered unsanitized in iframe sources. Exploitation can lead to unauthorized reading of protected health information (PHI), theft of CSRF tokens, and unauthorized calls to staff or admin endpoints. The vulnerability is fixed in OpenEMR version 8.5.0.
