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

Description

OpenEMR versions prior to 8.5.0 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the onsiteportalactivity API. Low-privileged patient portal users can inject JavaScript code via the tableArgs field. This payload can break out of an unquoted data-delete-id attribute, causing script execution when providers interact with the audit review page's delete button. The vulnerability is fixed in OpenEMR version 8.5.0.
