Description
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0.3, an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the patient portal payment page allows any authenticated portal patient to access other patients' payment records — including invoice/billing data (PHI) and payment card metadata — by manipulating the `recid` query parameter in `portal/portal_payment.php`. Version 8.0.0.3 patches the issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

An insecure direct object reference in the patient portal payment page allows authenticated patients to view payment records that belong to other patients by manipulating the recid query parameter. This enables exposure of billing information and payment card metadata, compromising confidentiality of protected health information and potentially enabling financial fraud.

Affected Systems

OpenEMR, version 8.0.0.2 and earlier, is affected. The vulnerability is in the patient portal payment page of the OpenEMR application.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates medium severity while an EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attack requires only that an attacker has an authenticated patient account; no additional credentials or administrative access are necessary, making the attack surface broad for all users of the affected versions.
