Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in OpenEMR up to 7.x. Affected by this issue is an unknown functionality of the component DICOM Viewer State API. The manipulation of the argument doc_id with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-639. The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0, the DICOM viewer state API (e.g. upload or state save/load) accepts a document ID (`doc_id`) without verifying that the document belongs to the current user’s authorized patient or encounter. An authenticated user can read or modify DICOM viewer state (e.g. annotations, view settings) for any document by enumerating document IDs. Version 8.0.0 fixes the issue.

The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-25927 since 02/09/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available.
