Description
OpenEMR versions before 8.5.0 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Eye Exam module. Authenticated users with Eye Exam edit permissions can inject malicious scripts via the Next Visit Orders PLAN[] field. When another user opens the Eye Exam editor, the injected JavaScript executes, potentially allowing theft of session identifiers or clinical data. This vulnerability is fixed in version 8.5.0.
