Description
OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in library/ajax/lists_touch.php that allows restricted authenticated users to mark another patient's clinical lists as reviewed. Attackers can submit arbitrary patient_id and type values to falsely record "None known" allergy, medication, or problem lists, misleading clinicians and skewing quality-measure calculations.
