AI-suggested
Since the vulnerability affects OpenEMR versions prior to 8.3.0, upgrading to version 8.3.0 or later is implied as the remediation step. If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the affected modules to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized access attempts. Check the vendor advisory or official OpenEMR sources for confirmation of patches or updates.
Description
OpenEMR versions prior to 8.3.0 have missing authorization and insecure direct object reference vulnerabilities in the oe-module-prior-authorizations module. These vulnerabilities allow authenticated low-privilege users to access and modify other patients' records. Specifically, attackers can view sensitive patient information such as names, medical record numbers (MRNs), insurance, and prior authorization data by requesting certain endpoints, and can overwrite other patients' prior-authorization records by submitting arbitrary IDs.
