Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-862.
Summary
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 is affected. In the Weno module, the file_download.php script has no access control or CSRF check (CWE-862) and ignores the result of admin credential validation. When the module is enabled, any authenticated user can empty the weno_pharmacy table, and a cross-site request can trigger the same action through a logged-in victim. A failed download can also leave the e-prescribing pharmacy directory empty.

Description from the CNA
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to 8.3.0, interface/modules/custom_modules/oe-module-weno/scripts/file_download.php has no ACL or CSRF check and ignores the result of validateAdminCredentials(). When the Weno module is enabled, the default GET path calls PharmacyService::removeWenoPharmacies() before attempting a refetch, allowing any authenticated user to truncate the weno_pharmacy table and allowing a cross-site request to trigger the same operation through a logged-in victim. A failed later download can leave the e-prescribing pharmacy directory empty and unavailable. This issue is fixed in version 8.3.0.
