Variable overwrite vulnerability in interface/globals.php in OpenEMR 2.8.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary program variables and conduct other unauthorized activities, such as conduct (a) remote file inclusion attacks via the srcdir parameter in custom/import_xml.php or (b) cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via the rootdir parameter in interface/login/login_frame.php, via vectors associated with extract operations on the (1) POST and (2) GET superglobal arrays. NOTE: this issue was originally disputed before the extract behavior was identified in post-disclosure analysis. Also, the original report identified "Open Conference Systems," but this was an error.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-0649 affects legacy OpenEMR 2.8.2 and earlier. A remote user could overwrite internal PHP variables, potentially causing unauthorized behavior such as remote file inclusion or cross-site scripting. The main concern is old, exposed OpenEMR deployments that have not been retired or upgraded. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running OpenEMR 2.8.2 or earlier, especially if reachable from untrusted networks. The supplied affected-product metadata is incomplete, so confirm version and deployment paths directly. Prioritize remediation if any legacy OpenEMR instance is internet-facing or handles patient data. The issue is old, but remote file inclusion and XSS potential make unsupported exposed systems unacceptable risk. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire or upgrade OpenEMR 2.8.2 and earlier installations.; Check OpenEMR vendor guidance for supported upgrade or remediation paths.; Restrict internet access to legacy OpenEMR systems pending remediation..
