Openemr · Openemr · CVE-2026-25476
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
OpenEMR versions prior to 8.0.0
**Description**
OpenEMR is an electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0, the session expiration check within the `library/auth.inc.php` file could be bypassed. Specifically, when the `skip timeout reset` parameter is set to '1' in a request, the session expiration check, including the call to the `SessionTracker::isSessionExpired()` function, is skipped. This allows expired sessions to remain active, potentially enabling an attacker with a stolen session cookie to maintain access indefinitely by continuously including the `skip timeout reset=1` parameter in their requests.
**Recommendations**
Update to version 8.0.0 or later.
