Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to 8.0.0.1, sensitivity checks for group encounters are broken because the code only consults form_encounter for sensitivity, while group encounters store sensitivity in form_groups_encounter. As a result, sensitivity is never correctly applied to group encounters, and users who should be restricted from viewing sensitive (e.g. mental health) encounters can view them. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.0.0.1.
AnalysisAI
OpenEMR versions prior to 8.0.0.1 fail to properly enforce access controls on group encounters due to sensitivity checks only querying the wrong database table, allowing authenticated users to view restricted medical records such as mental health encounters they should not access. The vulnerability affects multi-user deployments where role-based restrictions are relied upon to protect sensitive patient information. No patch is currently available for affected versions.
