Summary
OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the Syndromic Surveillance report because the form_icd_codes[] POST array is concatenated into an unquoted numeric IN() clause without integer validation. Authenticated users can submit quote-free payloads that bypass add_escape_custom to perform blind or UNION-based injection and exfiltrate patient health information.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
The maintainers of openemr/openemr published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
