CVE-2026-32119 PUBLISHED

OpenEMR has Stored DOM XSS via SearchHighlight text-node reconstruction on Custom Report page

Assigner: GitHub_M

OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to 8.0.0.2, DOM-based stored XSS in the jQuery SearchHighlight plugin (library/js/SearchHighlight.js) allows an authenticated user with encounter form write access to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in another clinician's browser session when they use the search/find feature on the Custom Report page. The plugin reverses server-side HTML entity encoding by reading decoded text from DOM text nodes, concatenating it into a raw HTML string, and passing it to jQuery's $() constructor for HTML parsing. Version 8.0.0.2 fixes the issue.
