CVE-2013-10044
OpenEMR ≤ 4.1.1 SQL Injection Privilege Escalation and RCE
An authenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in OpenEMR ≤ 4.1.1 Patch 14 that allows a low-privileged attacker to extract administrator credentials and subsequently escalate privileges. Once elevated, the attacker can exploit an unrestricted file upload flaw to achieve remote code execution, resulting in full compromise of the application and its host system.
