## Affected

- openemr: fixed in 8.3.0

## Description

OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains an insecure direct object reference vulnerability in OnsiteDocumentController::Query() that allows authenticated portal patients to bypass the lowercase pid authorization guard by supplying a capitalised Pid parameter. Attackers can request the api/onsitedocuments endpoint with Pid set to another patient's id to overwrite the session-pinned criteria and read other patients' onsite documents containing PHI.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-124462 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

### What does this mean?

The patient portal is meant to tie each logged-in patient to their own records. A flaw in how the pid parameter is handled lets an authenticated portal patient read other patients' onsite documents containing PHI, which is a cross-patient confidentiality breach.
