CVE-2026-124478
MediumCVSS 6.5Summary
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the addRecall action of /interface/main/messages/save.php that allows low-privileged authenticated users to modify arbitrary patients' recall data. Attackers can submit a crafted new_pid with recall, contact, provider, facility, and notification preference fields to overwrite records of patients they cannot access.
Risk Assessment
A low-privileged user can modify patient recall data, potentially disrupting care, causing missed appointments, and compromising medical data integrity.
Recommendation
Upgrade OpenEMR to version 8.3.0 or later. Until patched, restrict access to the addRecall action and monitor recall data changes.
Other vulnerabilities in OpenEMR
See all- CVE-2026-124489High
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a broken access control vulnerability in portal/portal_payment.php that allows low-privilege authenticated users to bypass billing ACL checks by tampering patient identifiers. Attackers can modify the pid and form_pid parameters to view payment pages and record fraudulent payment receipts for arbitrary patients, corrupting billing records.
- CVE-2026-124488High
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated clinicians lacking high-sensitivity permission to read and modify encounter-bound forms via load_form.php. Attackers can request the Clinical Notes or Care Plan direct loader to obtain restricted content and a CSRF token, then submit save.php to tamper with clinical records.
- CVE-2026-124486High
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the classic document controller that allows low-privilege authenticated users to recategorize other patients' documents. Attackers can invoke move_action_process to move a document into a patients|demo category, then retrieve it with an empty patient_id to exfiltrate PHI and tamper with charts.
- CVE-2026-124485Medium
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the patient portal onsitedocuments API that allows authenticated patients to read other patients' documents by overriding query criteria. Attackers can send empty pid_Equals and denialReason_IsNotLike parameters to remove patient scoping and locked filters, exposing consent bodies, signatures, file paths, and template data.
- CVE-2026-124484High
OpenEMR before 8.4.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in portal onsite-document APIs that allows any authenticated core user to access cross-patient documents. Attackers can omit the patientId parameter and supply arbitrary record IDs to list, read, and overwrite other patients' portal documents, signatures, and template data.
- CVE-2026-124482Medium
OpenEMR before 8.4.0 contains an authorization bypass allowing low-privileged SMART standalone-launch users to bind arbitrary patient UUIDs into the OAuth token context. Attackers with only the patients|demo ACL can select a victim during authorization and read that patient's clinical notes and documents through patient-scoped DocumentReference and Binary FHIR endpoints.
- CVE-2026-124481Medium
OpenEMR before 8.4.0 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in Rainforest patient portal payments that trusts browser-supplied patientId, encounter, and amount values instead of deriving them from the portal session. Authenticated portal patients can tamper with JSON sent to portal_payment.rainforest.php so the payin.authorized webhook writes forged ar_activity credits to other patients' encounters exceeding the amount actually paid.
- CVE-2026-124480High
OpenEMR before 8.4.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows low-privileged authenticated users to read cross-patient FHIR QuestionnaireResponse data by sending the APICSRFTOKEN header. Attackers can reuse the session-exposed api_csrf_token_js value to skip FHIR scope checks and call GET /fhir/QuestionnaireResponse, exfiltrating site-wide questionnaire answer PHI.
- CVE-2026-124477High
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows low-privileged authenticated users to delete arbitrary patient recall records via the delete_Recall action. Attackers can send POST requests to /interface/main/messages/save.php with a target pid and r_ID to remove recall data without ACL or ownership checks.
- CVE-2026-124476Medium
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains an insecure direct object reference in portal/lib/paylib.php, which writes the request-supplied form_pid (or the patient_id_cc value in Sphere data) to onsite_portal_activity without checking it against the session patient. Authenticated portal patients can submit portal-save, review-save, AuthorizeNet, Stripe, or Sphere requests to insert or modify forged payment-audit records in other patients' billing records.
