# OpenEMR: low-privilege users can export patient data and send reminders

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-126468 (this .md is for agents)

OpenEMR before 8.5.0 lets any logged-in user with low privileges open report, reminder and batch reminder endpoints that skip access checks. An attacker can export patient health information and trigger unauthorized reminders.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed OpenEMR version against the fixed release in the product data (`8.5.0`).
- Review the OpenEMR deployment for user accounts with low-privilege roles that can log in.

## Fix

- OpenEMR: `8.5.0`

## From the sources

OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows any authenticated low-privilege user to access reports, dated reminders, and batch reminder endpoints lacking AclMain::aclCheckCore() checks. Attackers can request patient_list.php, amc_full_report.php, dated_reminders_add.php, or batch_reminders.php directly to export patient PHI, send unauthorized reminders, and trigger batch reminder processing.
