CVE-2026-32121 | OpenEMR: Stored DOM XSS via `.html()` in Portal Signer Modal

Exp

OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to 8.0.0.1, Stored XSS in prescription CSS/HTML print view via patient demographics. That finding involves server-side rendering of patient names via raw PHP echo. This finding involves client-side DOM-based rendering via jQuery .html() in a completely different component (portal/sign/assets/signer_api.js). The two share the same root cause (unsanitized patient names in patient_data), but they have different sinks, different affected components, different trigger actions, and require independent fixes. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.0.0.1.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
7.7 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.

Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
