Title
OpenEMR has Stored XSS in ub04 helper
Summary
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Versions 5.0.0.5 through 7.0.3.4 have a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the ub04 helper of the billing interface. The variable `$data` is passed in a click event handler enclosed in single quotes without proper sanitization. Thus, despite `json_encode` a malicious user can still inject a payload such as ` ac' ><img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)> ` to trigger the bug. This vulnerability allows low privileged users to embed malicious JS payloads on the server and perform stored XSS attack. This, in turn makes it possible for malicious users to steal the session cookies and perform unauthorized actions impersonating administrators. Version 7.0.4 patches the issue.

Las versiones 5.0.0.5 a 7.0.3.4 tienen una vulnerabilidad de secuencias de comandos entre sitios almacenadas en el ayudante ub04 de la interfaz de facturaci\u00f3n. La variable `$data` se pasa en un controlador de eventos de clic entre comillas simples sin la debida desinfecci\u00f3n. Por lo tanto, a pesar de \u00abjson_encode\u00bb, un usuario malintencionado a\u00fan puede inyectar una carga \u00fatil como \"ac\u0027 \u0026gt;\" para activar el error. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a los usuarios con privilegios bajos incrustar cargas \u00fatiles JS maliciosas en el servidor y realizar ataques XSS almacenados. Esto, a su vez, hace posible que los usuarios malintencionados roben las cookies de sesi\u00f3n y realicen acciones no autorizadas suplantando a los administradores.

Versions 5.0.0.5 through 7.0.3.4 have a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the ub04 helper of the billing interface. The variable `$data` is passed in a click event handler enclosed in single quotes without proper sanitization. Thus, despite `json_encode` a malicious user can still inject a payload such as ` ac\u0027 \u003e\u003cimg src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)\u003e ` to trigger the bug. This vulnerability allows low privileged users to embed malicious JS payloads on the server and perform stored XSS attack. This, in turn makes it possible for malicious users to steal the session cookies and perform unauthorized actions impersonating administrators. Version 7.0.4 patches the issue."
