# OpenEMR: stored script injection in Eye Exam module via list titles

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-126477 (this .md is for agents)

OpenEMR before 8.5.0 lets an administrator store a crafted option title in the Eye Exam (eye_mag) defaults list that is not encoded on output. When another logged-in user clicks Defaults, the injected JavaScript runs in their session.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the OpenEMR version in the installed application; `8.5.0` or later is not affected by this entry.
- Review the Eye_defaults list option titles for unexpected script content.

## Fix

- OpenEMR: move to `8.5.0` or later.

## From the sources

OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Eye Exam (eye_mag) module that allows administrators to inject JavaScript through unencoded Eye_defaults list option titles. Attackers can store a crafted title via edit_list.php that breaks out of a jQuery string in eye_base.php, executing script in any authenticated user's session when they click Defaults.
