CVE-2007-0649 describes a variable overwrite vulnerability in OpenEMR 2.8.2 and earlier, specifically within the interface/globals.php file. This flaw allows remote attackers to manipulate arbitrary program variables, leading to unauthorized activities such as remote file inclusion via custom/import_xml.php or cross-site scripting (XSS) via interface/login/login_frame.php. The vulnerability stems from extract operations on POST and GET superglobal arrays. With a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium), this vulnerability has a network attack vector and high attack complexity, requiring medium authentication for exploitation. Successful exploitation could lead to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Its FAUCET Risk Score is 71/100, indicating a moderate to high risk. While not listed on the CISA KEV catalog and currently inactive, exploit code is publicly available on ExploitDB, demonstrating remote file inclusion and XSS attacks. Despite this, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and the vulnerability has received minimal community discussion or media coverage.
