DescriptionGitHub Advisory

OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. In versions up to and including 8.0.0, the message/note update endpoint (e.g. PUT or POST) updates by message/note ID only and does not verify that the message belongs to the current patient (or that the user is allowed to edit that patient’s notes). An authenticated user with notes permission can modify any patient’s messages by supplying another message ID. Commit 92a2ff9eaaa80674b3a934a6556e35e7aded5a41 contains a fix for the issue.

AnalysisAI

OpenEMR versions up to 8.0.0 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the message/note update endpoints that allows authenticated users with notes permissions to modify any patient's messages without proper access control verification. An attacker can exploit this by supplying arbitrary message IDs in PUT or POST requests, enabling unauthorized modification of other patients' medical records. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.5 score reflects a medium severity vulnerability with network-accessible attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), and low privilege requirements (PR:L, requiring authenticated user with notes permission). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated clinic staff member (e.g., medical assistant with notes permissions) discovers that patient messages are accessible via sequential or predictable IDs in the API. The attacker crafts a PUT request to the message update endpoint with another patient's message ID, modifying the medical note content without the target patient's or authorized provider's knowledge. …
Remediation Organizations running OpenEMR should immediately upgrade to a patched version released after the fix commit 92a2ff9eaaa80674b3a934a6556e35e7aded5a41; verify with the vendor whether this is available as an 8.0.1 patch or requires upgrade to a newer major version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 30 days: Identify affected systems running versions and apply vendor patches as part of regular patch cycle. …
