What is CVE-2026-32123?
CVE-2026-32123 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Open-Emr Openemr, published on 11 Mar 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 8.0.0.1, sensitivity checks for group encounters are broken because the code only consults form_encounter for sensitivity, while group encounters store sensitivity in form_groups_encounter. As a result, sensitivity is never correctly applied to group encounters, and users who should be restricted from viewing sensitive (e.g. mental health) encounters can view them. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.0.0.1.
Weakness: CWE-863
