Document disclosure and upload via missing ACL checks
Published Dec 17, 2022 · Updated Apr 14, 2025
Improper access control in OpenEMR before 7.0.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to read or upload restricted patient documents. Document retrieval and upload paths omit user, patient, and category authorization checks before returning or storing files. A low-privileged account can cross document-category boundaries, exposing records or adding files outside its assigned access.
