Cross-patient message disclosure via missing export ACL
Published Feb 25, 2026 · Updated Feb 25, 2026
Missing authorization in OpenEMR before 8.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to export all patient and user messages. The interface/reports/message_list.php CSV branch executes its broad pnotes query after checking only a CSRF token and never enforces the patients/med ACL. Any low-privileged account with a valid session token can download cross-patient message bodies and metadata without permission.
