Description
OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains a second-order sql injection vulnerability that allows low-privileged authenticated users to store malicious SQL via library/ajax/addlistitem.php. Attackers can persist a SQL fragment in the recent_patient_columns option_id value, which dynamic_finder.php concatenates into a SELECT query and executes as SQL.
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-2026-126492. Check the upstream advisory for a patched version, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
