Abstract

Late last year, OpenMRS began collaborating with researchers from North Carolina State University (NCSU) to better secure the OpenMRS Reference Application. NCSU researchers, using cutting-edge security assessment techniques, have identified almost 300 distinct security issues. Many of those issues are relatively low-complexity, requiring one-line patches. This is a great opportunity for students who are interested in software security to get first-hand experience in the field.
