Upgrade OpenEMR to version 8.5.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. No other vendor advisories indicate alternative mitigations or that the issue is already mitigated. Applying the official patch is the recommended remediation.
Description
OpenEMR versions before 8.5.0 are affected by a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the application/index/search endpoint. Authenticated attackers can inject malicious JavaScript payloads via the searchEleNo POST parameter, exploiting improper input neutralization in auto-suggest.phtml. This allows injection of event handlers that execute on DOM insertion, potentially leading to theft of non-HttpOnly session cookies and patient data. The vulnerability has a medium severity score of 5.1 and was fixed in version 8.5.0.
