The function only checks for the presence of an \"allow\" entry and never inspects explicit \"deny\" entries (allow=0). Because of the ignored denies, a user who belongs to a group that has an allow entry can still access resources even if the user or that group is explicitly denied. This flaw allows privileged users to bypass intended access restrictions and consequently gain unauthorized access to protected data or functions. The weakness is classified as CWE\u2011863, indicating insufficient access control checks.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score is 7.3, denoting a high severity vulnerability. The EPSS score is not available, so the current likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA\u2019s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a remote authenticated web request to the OpenEMR application; an attacker must have the ability to modify ACLs (admin or equivalent). Once the ACL filter is bypassed, the attacker can retrieve or manipulate protected information. Because the flaw resides in server\u2011side logic, it does not require additional network services or located vulnerabilities; exploiting it only requires valid credentials with ACL management permissions. The automated exploitation potential is limited, but the impact of unauthorized access is significant."}}}}, "created": "2026-03-20T08:56:18.988345+00:00", "updated": "2026-03-20T11:06:29.001846+00:00", "vendors": ["openemr", "openemr$PRODUCT$openemr"]}
