CVE-2026-124466: OpenEMR server-side request forgery in OAuth2 jwks_uri

CVE-2026-124466 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.2 · Published 2026-11-08

OpenEMR is a medical practice management and electronic health record system. An unauthenticated attacker can make the server send HTTP requests to any URL, including internal services and cloud metadata endpoints, by registering a malicious OAuth2 client and triggering a token introspection call. This allows probing of internal networks and potential credential theft from cloud environments without requiring any user account or interaction.

Technologies: OpenEMR. Vendors: OpenEMR.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a server-side request forgery in OpenEMR's OAuth2 implementation. An attacker registers an OAuth2 client with an attacker-controlled jwks_uri without scheme or IP validation, then triggers a fetch via the token introspection endpoint with an unsigned client_assertion. The HTTP client fetches the jwks_uri before signature validation, enabling blind SSRF to internal addresses. Exploitation requires only that any API (REST, FHIR, or portal) is enabled, which is standard for most deployments.
