Summary
OpenEMR Has Disabled SSL Certificate Verification in HTTP Client
Original description
The description as published by the source.
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 7.0.4, OpenEMR's HTTP client wrapper (oeHttp/oeHttpRequest) disables SSL/TLS certificate verification by default (verify: false), making all external HTTPS connections vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. This affects communication with government healthcare APIs and user-configurable external services, potentially exposing Protected Health Information (PHI). Version 7.0.4 fixes the issue.
