Description
OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows OAuth2 clients to use unregistered grant types because oauth_clients.grant_types is never enforced. Attackers can request tokens with grant_type=password to bypass the user consent screen, and disabled clients can redeem authorization codes using JWT client assertions.
