AI-suggested

Upgrade OpenEMR to version 8.5.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

OpenEMR versions before 8.5.0 contain a second-order SQL injection vulnerability in the IPPF contraceptive issue feature. This occurs because the issue_ippf_con_save function concatenates user-controlled field_id values into a SQL REPLACE INTO query as column names without proper neutralization. Authenticated administrators can exploit this by adding a malicious field_id via edit_layout.php and then triggering the vulnerable function through add_edit_issue.php, allowing execution of arbitrary SQL commands.
