Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in OpenEMR up to 8.2.x. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Standard REST API. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-89. The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the Standard REST API patient insurance and employer search, which concatenates query-string parameter names into SQL as column identifiers without escaping. Authenticated clients, including low-privilege patient-portal OAuth2 tokens, can send crafted parameter names to /api/patient/{puuid}/insurance or /api/patient/{puuid}/employer to extract patient PHI, user records, and API client secrets.
