AI uncovers 38 critical vulnerabilities in widely-used healthcare software

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

AISLE's AI analyzer identified 38 critical security vulnerabilities in OpenEMR, a widely-used open-source electronic health record system. These findings, discovered in the first quarter of 2026, represent more than half of all OpenEMR security advisories published on GitHub during that period. The vulnerabilities, including severe SQL injection flaws, could allow for large-scale patient data exfiltration and remote code execution on servers. AISLE collaborated with OpenEMR maintainers, who have responded professionally to the disclosed issues. AI
