# OpenEMR: low-privilege users can delete any patient's recall records

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-124477 (this .md is for agents)

OpenEMR before 8.3.0 has a missing authorization check on the delete_Recall action, so any logged-in user can delete patient recall records by ID. An attacker can remove another patient's recall data without the access rights or ownership that should be required.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the OpenEMR version in the installation; `8.3.0` or later is not affected.
- Confirm whether the instance is reachable by low-privileged staff accounts, since the flaw needs a logged-in user.

## Fix

- OpenEMR: move to `8.3.0` or later.

## From the sources

OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows low-privileged authenticated users to delete arbitrary patient recall records via the delete_Recall action. Attackers can send POST requests to /interface/main/messages/save.php with a target pid and r_ID to remove recall data without ACL or ownership checks.
