3Description
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).

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. …
