Description
OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows any authenticated core user to modify arbitrary Patient Flow Board trackers without the patients/appt permission. Attackers can submit a victim tracker_id to patient_tracker_status.php or drug_screen_completed.php to falsify check-in status, rooms, drug-screen completion, and tracker history.
