CVE-2026-34055 Details
Description
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0.3, the legacy patient notes functions in `library/pnotes.inc.php` perform updates and deletes using `WHERE id = ?` without verifying that the note belongs to a patient the user is authorized to access. Multiple web UI callers pass user-controlled note IDs directly to these functions. This is the same class of vulnerability as CVE-2026-25745 (REST API IDOR), but affects the web UI code paths. Version 8.0.0.3 patches the issue.
A vulnerability exists in OpenEMR's patient notes web interface, specifically in versions prior to 8.0.0.3. The issue arises from legacy functions in 'library/pnotes.inc.php' that update and delete notes based on user-controlled IDs, without verifying if the notes belong to patients the user is authorized to access. This flaw, which mirrors a similar vulnerability in the REST API, allows authenticated users to read, modify, delete, and change the status of notes for other patients.
Users can update to OpenEMR version 8.0.0.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
