OpenEMR before 8.4.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in its SMART on FHIR implementation because checkUserHasAccessToPatient() in BearerTokenAuthorizationStrategy.php unconditionally returns true. Authenticated users or malicious SMART apps can manipulate token launch context to bind requests to arbitrary patient UUIDs, gaining unauthorized read/write access to other patients' FHIR resources.
