CVE-2026-25220
February 25, 2026
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0, the Message Center accepts the URL parameter "show_all=yes" and passes it to "getPnotesByUser()", which returns all internal messages (all users’ notes). The backend does not verify that the requesting user is an administrator before honoring "show_all=yes". The "Show All" link is also visible to non-admin users. As a result, any authenticated user can view the entire internal message list by requesting "messages.php?show_all=yes". Version 8.0.0 patches the issue.
