AI-suggested

Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on vendor updates. Users should monitor the vendor advisory for official patches or updates addressing this vulnerability. If you cannot patch yet, restrict encounters/notes permissions to trusted users only and audit API usage for unauthorized access attempts.

Description

OpenEMR versions prior to 8.3.0 have a broken object-level authorization vulnerability in the SOAP note update API. This flaw allows authenticated users with encounters/notes permission to overwrite clinical notes belonging to other patients by manipulating the SOAP note ID in API requests. The vulnerability arises because the API does not verify that the supplied SOAP note ID corresponds to the specified patient and encounter.
