Description
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the CCDA/CCD preview stylesheets, where cda.xsl copies event-handler attributes whose values evade a character denylist and ccd.xsl copies table-cell attributes unsanitized into preview HTML. Authenticated users can upload a crafted CCDA/CCD document with onmouseover, onclick, or onfocus handlers to execute script in a clinician's session when previewed.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).
Remediation status
The records we use list no fixed release for CVE-2026-124448. Check the upstream advisory for a patched version, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
