AI-suggested

Upgrade OpenEMR to version 8.4.0 or later, where this incorrect authorization vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigations are indicated or required as the fix addresses the root cause.

Description

OpenEMR versions prior to 8.4.0 have an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the prescription REST API. The API incorrectly checks the patients.med ACL instead of the more restrictive patients.rx ACL and does not require a specific permission bit. This allows authenticated staff users with read-only Medical/History access to enumerate prescription UUIDs, forge prescriptions for arbitrary patients, and deactivate existing prescriptions across the tenant by reusing the UI-exposed APICSRFTOKEN.
