What is CVE-2026-24896?
CVE-2026-24896 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Open-Emr Openemr, published on 25 Feb 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0, a Broken Access Control vulnerability exists in OpenEMR’s edih_main.php endpoint, which allows any authenticated user—including low-privilege roles like Receptionist—to access EDI log files by manipulating the log_select parameter in a GET request. The back-end fails to enforce role-based access control (RBAC), allowing sensitive system logs to be accessed outside the GUI-enforced permission boundaries. Version 8.0.0 fixes the issue.
