Summary

OpenEMR, the open-source electronic health records system, is affected by a SQL injection flaw in its patient portal OnsiteDocument query API. A remote attacker with a low-privilege patient portal login can inject SQL through request parameters such as Id_BitwiseAnd to read any database table, including other patients' records and staff password hashes.

Read the original description

OpenEMR before 8.4.0 contains a mass assignment vulnerability in the patient portal OnsiteDocument query API that lets request parameters set bitwise criteria filters whose values are placed unquoted into the SQL WHERE clause. Authenticated patient portal users can inject SQL via parameters such as Id_BitwiseAnd to read any database table, including other patients' records and staff password hashes.

Questions about CVE-2026-124444

Is CVE-2026-124444 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data

What does this mean?

The OnsiteDocument query API in the patient portal fails to safely handle input in its WHERE clause, which allows SQL injection. Per the facts, a low-privileged patient portal account could read any table in the OpenEMR database, including other patients' records and staff password hashes.Source: vulncheck.com, github.com

Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-124444?

openemr: before 8.4.0.Source: cve.now feed data

Am I affected, and how do I check?

OpenEMR versions before 8.4.0 are affected, specifically the patient portal OnsiteDocument query API. To check, look at the installed OpenEMR version number and compare it with 8.4.0.Source: vulncheck.com, github.com

How do I fix CVE-2026-124444?

Upgrade OpenEMR to 8.4.0 or later, which is the version that fixes this issue.Source: vulncheck.com, github.com
