Technical ContextAI · show details

Classified as CWE-284 (Improper Access Control). Affects the Profile Edit component of Openemr. OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Versions prior to 7.0.4 have a broken access control in the Profile Edit endpoint. An authenticated normal user can modify the request parameters (pubpid / pid) to reference another user’s record; the server accepts the modified IDs and applies the changes to that other user’s profile. This allows one user to alter another user’s profile data (name, contact info, etc.), and could enable accou

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Versions prior to 7.0.4 have a broken access control in the Profile Edit endpoint. An authenticated normal user can modify the request parameters (pubpid / pid) to reference another user’s record; the server accepts the modified IDs and applies the changes to that other user’s profile. This allows one user to alter another user’s profile data (name, contact info, etc.), and could enable account takeover. Version 7.0.4 fixes the issue.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

OpenEMR instances running versions prior to 7.0.4 contain a critical access control vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to modify patient profiles and potentially access protected health information (PHI). This vulnerability affects healthcare organizations' compliance with HIPAA and creates direct risk to patient data confidentiality and integrity.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible: implement network-level access restrictions to the Profile Edit endpoint, enforce multi-factor authentication for all profile access, enable comprehensive audit logging for profile modifications, and isolate affected OpenEMR instances from untrusted networks until patched.
