Summary
OpenEMR before 8.5.0 contains active debug code in interface/fax/fax_view.php that executes passthru("groups") and discloses the web server's Unix group memberships. Authenticated attackers with fax module access can supply a nonexistent jid value to reveal groups such as adm or shadow, aiding privilege escalation planning.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
The maintainers of openemr/openemr published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
