In OpenEMR 5.0.1 and earlier, an authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the host system via the Scanned Forms interface when creating a new form.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (9.62%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
