Description
OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated users to override system-wide global configuration values by storing global-prefixed keys through library/ajax/user_settings.php. Attackers can submit lab or target parameters with global: prefixed setting names to disable audit logging, weaken password policies, or alter security-sensitive settings persistently for their sessions.
