AI-suggested
A fix is available in OpenEMR version 8.4.0 and later. Users should upgrade to version 8.4.0 or above to remediate this vulnerability. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the official patch. No alternative mitigations are provided in the available data.
Description
OpenEMR versions prior to 8.4.0 have a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to register an OAuth2 client with an unvalidated jwks_uri, enabling the server to send arbitrary HTTP requests. Attackers can exploit this via the token introspection endpoint using an unsigned client_assertion to probe internal services and access cloud metadata endpoints.
