8.6 highExploit referenceEPSS 0.5%

High (8.6) in open-emr openemr. EPSS 0.5% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.

On this page
OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains a second-order SQL injection vulnerability in the IPPF contraceptive issue feature because issue_ippf_con_save concatenates layout_options field_id values into a REPLACE INTO query as column names. Authenticated administrators can add a malicious field_id via edit_layout.php, then trigger issue_ippf_con_save through add_edit_issue.php to execute arbitrary SQL.
