CVE-2026-124481

MediumCVSS 6.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

OpenEMR before 8.4.0 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in Rainforest patient portal payments that trusts browser-supplied patientId, encounter, and amount values instead of deriving them from the portal session. Authenticated portal patients can tamper with JSON sent to portal_payment.rainforest.php so the payin.authorized webhook writes forged ar_activity credits to other patients' encounters exceeding the amount actually paid.

Risk Assessment

Patients can forge billing records of other patients, leading to financial errors, fraud, and loss of billing data integrity.

Recommendation

Upgrade OpenEMR to version 8.4.0 or later. Until patched, validate payment values server-side and monitor for unusual ar_activity writes.
