DescriptionGitHub Advisory

OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0, a Broken Access Control vulnerability exists in OpenEMR’s edih_main.php endpoint, which allows any authenticated user-including low-privilege roles like Receptionist-to access EDI log files by manipulating the log_select parameter in a GET request. The back-end fails to enforce role-based access control (RBAC), allowing sensitive system logs to be accessed outside the GUI-enforced permission boundaries. Version 8.0.0 fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

OpenEMR versions before 8.0.0 contain an improper access control flaw in the edih_main.php endpoint that allows any authenticated user, including low-privilege accounts like Receptionists, to retrieve sensitive EDI log files by manipulating the log_select parameter. The vulnerability bypasses role-based access controls that should restrict access through the GUI, enabling unauthorized disclosure of system logs. …
