# CVE-2026-126492: OpenEMR before 8.5.0 Second-Order SQL Injection via dynamic_finder.php

Status: published. Published: 2026-11-13. Updated: 2026-11-13.

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.
