Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in OpenEMR 4.1.0 (Business Process Management Software). This issue affects an unknown code. The manipulation of the argument formname with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in OpenEMR 4.1.0 allow remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the formname parameter to (1) contrib/acog/print_form.php; or (2) load_form.php, (3) view_form.php, or (4) trend_form.php in interface/patient_file/encounter.

The weakness was presented 02/07/2012 by High-Tech Bridge SA with High-Tech Bridge SA (Website). The advisory is shared at htbridge.ch. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2012-0991 since 02/02/2012. The attack may be initiated remotely. A simple authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

The exploit is available at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (72914), Exploit-DB (36650), SecurityFocus (BID 51788†), OSVDB (78727†) and Secunia (SA47781†).
