Description
OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to 8.0.0.1, sensitivity checks for group encounters are broken because the code only consults form_encounter for sensitivity, while group encounters store sensitivity in form_groups_encounter. As a result, sensitivity is never correctly applied to group encounters, and users who should be restricted from viewing sensitive (e.g. mental health) encounters can view them. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.0.0.1.
