AI-suggested

A fix is available in OpenEMR version 8.5.0 and later. Users should upgrade to version 8.5.0 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. Until upgraded, restrict administrator access to trusted personnel only to reduce risk.

Description

OpenEMR versions prior to 8.5.0 have 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. 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 arbitrary SQL execution.
