MediumCVSS 6.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

OpenEMR before 8.4.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the FHIR GET /fhir/Person/:uuid route that allows patient-portal users to read any staff member's demographics by bypassing compartment enforcement. Attackers holding a patient SMART token with patient/Person.read can harvest staff Person UUIDs from Appointment references to retrieve names, home addresses, phone numbers, and personal emails.

Risk Assessment

Privacy breach for staff — leak of medical personnel contact and address data, which may be used for further social engineering attacks.
