CVE-2026-46518 Details
Description
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0.1, a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the prescription CSS/HTML multi-print feature allows a patient portal user to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a clinician's browser session. Patient demographic fields (name, address) are rendered without output encoding in multiprintcss_header(), and portal patients can write attacker-controlled HTML directly into patient_data by calling the PUT api/patient/:num endpoint, which bypasses the intended audit review workflow. Because the XSS fires in the clinician's authenticated session on the main OpenEMR interface, the attacker can access CSRF tokens, session data, and perform actions as the clinician — crossing the patient-to-clinician trust boundary. This issue has been patched in version 8.0.0.1.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in OpenEMR versions prior to 8.0.0.1. This issue resides in the prescription CSS/HTML multi-print feature, where patient demographic fields are rendered without proper output encoding. As a result, a patient portal user can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in a clinician's browser session. The vulnerability arises from the 'PUT api/patient/:num' endpoint, which allows patients to bypass the intended audit review workflow and directly manipulate their data. Exploitation of this vulnerability crosses the patient-to-clinician trust boundary, as the injected script can access sensitive session information and perform actions on behalf of the clinician.
Users can update to OpenEMR version 8.0.0.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
