OpenEMR has Open Redirect in Eye Exam Form
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0, the Eye Exam form module allows any authenticated user to be redirected to an arbitrary external URL. This can be exploited for phishing attacks against healthcare providers using OpenEMR. Version 8.0.0 fixes the issue.

Exploit status
No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
Research context
For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.
Timeline

Variant candidates
Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.
No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
