CVE-2026-124445 is a critical-severity vulnerability in OpenEMR, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3. NVD published it on 2026-11-08 and classifies the weakness as CWE-307. FIRST EPSS puts the probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days at 0.35% (percentile 28.9, scored 2026-11-09).

What it is
OpenEMR from 7.0.1 before 8.4.0 contains a flaw in src/Common/Auth/OneTimeAuth.php that ignores the enforce_onetime_use and max_access_count flags, never revokes consumed service_auth tokens, and checks login_pin without rate limiting or strict comparison. Attackers holding a captured token can replay it or brute-force the PIN to open patient-portal sessions exposing PHI.

Detection Generic guidance
Response checklist Generic guidance
- Inventory: find every instance of the affected product and version (include internet-facing and forgotten ones).
- Patch or mitigate per the vendor advisory; if you cannot patch, remove internet exposure or apply the vendor workaround.
- Assume compromise if the system was exposed before patching: hunt for the indicators in the advisory and review logs back to the disclosure date.
- Rotate credentials and secrets stored on or used by the affected system if compromise cannot be ruled out.
Before patching, it helps to know every exposed instance; external attack surface monitoring from LayerLogix does that inventory.
