CVE-2026-33913 Details
Description
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0.3, an authenticated user with access to the Carecoordination module can upload a crafted CCDA document containing `<xi:include href="file:///etc/passwd" parse="text"/>` to read arbitrary files from the server. Version 8.0.0.3 patches the issue.
A vulnerability exists in OpenEMR versions prior to 8.0.0.3, specifically within the CCDA import feature of the Carecoordination module. Authenticated users can upload a specially crafted CCDA document that exploits the LIBXML_XINCLUDE flag, allowing the inclusion of arbitrary files from the server, such as the passwd file. This issue arises because the XInclude processing is not properly sanitized before being parsed, enabling unauthorized file access.
Users can upgrade to OpenEMR version 8.0.0.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
