CVE-2021-47817
OpenEMR 5.0.2.1 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in user profile parameters that authenticated attackers can chain with a file upload to achieve remote code execution.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.71%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
