Discussion
OpenEMR 'note' Parameter HTML Injection Vulnerability
OpenEMR is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
OpenEMR 4.1.1 patch-12 and prior are vulnerable.
