Attacker is unauthenticated (PR:N) but must social-engineer a Superuser via open redirect (UI:R); chaining two vulnerabilities raises complexity (AC:H); impact is integrity and availability only - no data disclosure occurs.

OpenEMR before 8.2.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the standard_tables_manage.php interface where the db GET parameter is passed without validation to temp_dir_cleanup(), which joins the value to the PHP temporary directory path and recursively deletes the resulting directory. Attackers can supply a traversal sequence in the db parameter to resolve outside the intended temporary directory, and by chaining this with an open redirect in dicom_frame.php, an unauthenticated attacker can deliver a crafted URL that triggers arbitrary recursive directory deletion within an authenticated Superuser's session.
AnalysisAI
Recursive arbitrary directory deletion in OpenEMR before 8.2.0 is achievable by an unauthenticated attacker through a two-vulnerability chain: a path traversal flaw in standard_tables_manage.php allows the db GET parameter - passed unsanitized to temp_dir_cleanup() - to resolve outside the intended PHP temporary directory, while an open redirect in dicom_frame.php enables delivery of a crafted URL that triggers this deletion inside an authenticated Superuser's active session. The patch is confirmed in OpenEMR 8.2.0 (released 2026-07-08); no active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that (1) the target OpenEMR instance runs a version prior to 8.2.0 with the standard_tables_manage.php and dicom_frame.php endpoints accessible over the network; (2) an authenticated OpenEMR Superuser - the highest privilege role in the application - is actively logged in at the time of the attack; and (3) that Superuser can be induced to click or otherwise follow a crafted URL, typically via phishing, a compromised external page, or other social engineering. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N, score 7.0) contains an internal inconsistency that merits verification: PR:H reflects that Superuser-level session context is required for the deletion to execute, but UI:N contradicts the described attack mechanism, which explicitly requires a Superuser to follow a crafted link - this should map to UI:A (Active user interaction) in CVSS 4.0 terms. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The definitive fix is upgrading to OpenEMR 8.2.0 or later, released 2026-07-08 and available at https://github.com/openemr/openemr/releases/tag/v8_2_0; the specific patch is implemented in commit 2d8a69f0f343c8e8c6ee1b42d224c24a7a4ba415 via PR #11951 (https://github.com/openemr/openemr/pull/11951). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
