An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-25920 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Open-Emr Openemr. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25920/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25920/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-25920","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25920/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-25920","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4qcm-h32c-8xq3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenEMR","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A malicious user can read and send sensitive messages on behalf of a victim due to improper access control during user creation in OpenEMR.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Mend","cpe":[{"product":"openemr","vendor":"open-emr"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-178","name":"Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity"}],"description":"In OpenEMR, versions v2.7.2-rc1 to 6.0.0 are vulnerable to Improper Access Control when creating a new user, which leads to a malicious user able to read and send sensitive messages on behalf of the victim user.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Missing authorization in openemr","id":"CVE-2021-25920","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"open-emr:openemr","products":["open-emr:openemr"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in openemr","id":"CVE-2021-25921"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in openemr","id":"CVE-2021-25919"},"products":["openemr"],"published":"2021-03-22","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"OpenEMR has an Unauthenticated MedEx Token Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-24898","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"OpenEMR Arbitrary File Read Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-24849","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"OpenEMR has SQL Injection in Patient API Sort Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-24908","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Improper Restriction of Rendered UI Layers or Frames in openemr/openemr","id":"CVE-2022-2734","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-22611","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-37734","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-17197","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-30","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A malicious user can read and send sensitive messages on behalf of a victim due to improper access control during user creation in OpenEMR.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25920/"}
