OpenEMR before 8.3.0 Unsanitized Deserialization via patient_match_dialog.php

Published Nov 13, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.6 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains an unsanitized deserialization vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to control patient-matching criteria by supplying a crafted serialized key parameter. Attackers can send serialized arrays to interface/orders/patient_match_dialog.php to enumerate patients or force matches that associate lab orders with the wrong patient.
