OpenEMR patches security bugs that put millions of patient records at risk

The open source EHR management platform, OpenEMR, had 20 vulnerabilities that potentially exposed millions of patient records to attack. The security flaws included bypassing patient authentication, SQL injection, remote code execution, and unauthenticated administrative actions. OpenEMR has since released an update to address these issues, but the disclosure highlights the need for better patch management and monitoring in the healthcare sector to protect against hackers.
