AI-suggested

Upgrade OpenEMR to version 8.5.0 or later, where the issue in Document::has_expired() is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated as the fix is available in this official release.

Description

OpenEMR versions prior to 8.5.0 have a vulnerability in the Document::has_expired() function where an inverted comparison causes time-limited PHI documents to be treated as unexpired beyond their intended one-hour lifetime. This flaw allows authenticated users authorized for a Binary/{id} resource to download expired bulk export NDJSON files and $docref CCDs indefinitely.
