This signature detects attempts to exploit a known cross-site scripting vulnerability against OpenEMR. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. Attackers can steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
In OpenEMR 5.0.1 and earlier, controller.php contains a reflected XSS vulnerability in the patient_id parameter. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of a user's session.
