Phishing via unvalidated Eye Exam redirect
Published Feb 25, 2026 · Updated Feb 25, 2026
Open redirect in OpenEMR before 8.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to send users to external sites through the Eye Exam form. interface/forms/eye_mag/view.php copies the url request parameter directly into an HTTP Location header without validating its destination. An authenticated session can supply the crafted link, but exploitation requires a recipient to follow it; the demonstrated 302 redirect supports phishing and credential theft.
