CVE-2021-25921
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.4)—
In OpenEMR, versions 2.7.3-rc1 to 6.0.0 are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) due to user input not being validated properly in the `Allergies` section. An attacker could lure an admin to enter a malicious payload and by that initiate the exploit.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Puntuación base: 5.4
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 91%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 100
- Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
