CVE-2021-25920
In OpenEMR, versions v2.7.2-rc1 to 6.0.0 are vulnerable to Improper Access Control when creating a new user, which leads to a malicious user able to read and send sensitive messages on behalf of the victim user.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.06%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
