OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains an sql injection vulnerability that allows any authenticated core user to inject SQL by supplying crafted patient_data field names to the CCR revandapprove controller. Attackers can embed scalar subqueries in the UPDATE patient_data SET clause to read staff password hashes and portal reset values, alter arbitrary patient demographics, and take over patient-portal accounts.
