OpenEMR: POST /api/.../vital Accepts Attacker-Supplied id and Overwrites Arbitrary Vitals
CVE-2026-25744
Description
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to 8.0.0.2, the encounter vitals API accepts an id in the request body and treats it as an UPDATE. There is no verification that the vital belongs to the current patient or encounter. An authenticated user with encounters/notes permission can overwrite any patient's vitals by supplying another patient's vital id, leading to medical record tampering. Version 8.0.0.2 fixes the issue.
