User InteractionNone needed
Summary

Dräger Infinity Delta, Delta XL, Kappa, and Infinity Explorer C700 patient monitors contain vulnerabilities in input validation, access controls, and log handling that allow local attackers to disclose sensitive device logs, trigger denial of service through device reboots, and escalate privileges. All versions of these products are affected. While Dräger released VF10.1 software updates in December 2018, patch availability and applicability depends on device age, firmware version, and hospital infrastructure.

What this means
What could happen
An attacker with local access to these patient monitors could read sensitive device logs (information disclosure), force the monitor to reboot (denial of service affecting patient monitoring), or gain higher system privileges to modify monitor behavior or settings.
Who's at risk
Healthcare facilities using Dräger Infinity Delta, Delta XL, Kappa, or Infinity Explorer C700 patient monitors in critical care units, operating rooms, and recovery areas. These devices are used for continuous vital sign monitoring; loss of monitor availability or integrity could directly impact patient safety decisions.
How it could be exploited
An attacker with physical or local network access to the device could exploit improper input validation (CWE-20) and insufficient access controls (CWE-269) to escalate privileges, access restricted logs containing sensitive information, or trigger a denial of service condition through device restart.
Prerequisites
  • Local access to the device or network segment where the monitor resides
  • No valid user credentials required for exploitation of privilege escalation or information disclosure vulnerabilities
No authentication required for exploitationAffects safety-critical medical devicesAll versions vulnerable (no safe version)No vendor patch planned (legacy medical equipment)
Exploitability
Low exploit probability (EPSS 0.2%)
