CVE-2022-2733
CRITICALCVE-2022-2733 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.6) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2022-2733 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Reflected in openemr/openemr
Description
Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Reflected in GitHub repository openemr/openemr prior to 7.0.0.1.
Research use only. For defensive security, authorized penetration testing, and academic research only. Never execute exploit code against systems without explicit written authorization.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2022-2733 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2022-2733 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2022-2733. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
