Apr 23rd 2022


Description

Hi there openemr maintainers, I would like to report an improper authorization vulnerability in your source code.

Proof of Concept

  1. Install openemr in your system and create an admin account and a receptionist account
  2. Log in as receptionist and see that you don't see Reports > Clinics in your menu, since you don't have privilege to do so
  3. However, go to this link https://demo.openemr.io/openemr/interface/reports/cqm.php?type=cqm# and see that you can view all clinic reports. Go to this link https://demo.openemr.io/openemr/interface/reports/cdr_log.php# and see that you can view all alert reports.

Impact

Allowing receptionist to view all clinics report.
