Upgrade OpenEMR to version 8.4.0 or later, where this authorization flaw is fixed. Since this is a cloud service, the vendor manages remediation for hosted instances; verify with the vendor that the service is updated accordingly.
Description
OpenEMR versions before 8.4.0 have an incorrect authorization vulnerability involving OAuth scope canonicalization and containment. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass approval mechanisms and gain unauthorized system-level FHIR access, including reading, modifying, and creating Patient records. The issue is fixed in version 8.4.0.
