AI-suggested

A fix is available in OpenEMR version 8.5.0 and later. Users should upgrade to version 8.5.0 or above to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated by the available data.

Description

OpenEMR versions prior to 8.5.0 contain a second-order SQL injection vulnerability that allows low-privileged authenticated users to inject malicious SQL code. The vulnerability arises from the ability to store a SQL fragment in the recent_patient_columns option_id value via library/ajax/addlistitem.php, which is later concatenated and executed in dynamic_finder.php. This flaw can lead to high confidentiality impact by exposing sensitive data.
