Published Nov 13, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6 Medium EPSS n/a KEV · Not listed

Description

OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains a missing authorization flaw in the Care Coordination CCDA and CCR import controllers, which move a document named by the document_id parameter into the import category without checking access to the source document.
