CVE-2026-124446

HighCVSS 8.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the FaxSMS module's RCFaxClient and SignalWireClient disposeDocument functions that allows authenticated low-privilege users to read and overwrite arbitrary files via the unsanitized file_path parameter. Attackers can request action=download to retrieve cleartext files like sqlconf.php database credentials and keys, or use action=setup to overwrite web-server-writable files with ciphertext.

Risk Assessment

A low-privilege user can steal database credentials and keys and corrupt application files, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Update OpenEMR to version 8.3.0 or later and implement path validation and restrict file write permissions for the application.
