Summary

Synapse Mobility contains an access control vulnerability that could allow an authenticated user with assigned credentials to access information and images beyond their assigned roles and permissions through the search function. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 8.2 and is caused by insufficient access controls on search functionality within the application.

What this means
What could happen
An attacker with valid login credentials could access patient medical imaging data and information they are not authorized to view, potentially leading to privacy breaches or exposure of sensitive healthcare records.
Who's at risk
Healthcare organizations using FUJIFILM Synapse Mobility for medical image archival and retrieval, including radiologists, clinicians, administrators, and IT staff managing imaging systems. This affects any hospital, imaging center, or healthcare network that relies on Synapse Mobility for managing patient medical imaging data.
How it could be exploited
An attacker must first obtain valid Synapse Mobility user credentials (e.g., from an employee account). They would then log into the application and use the search function to query for medical images or patient records outside their assigned access scope. Without proper role-based access controls on search results, the attacker could retrieve unauthorized data.
Prerequisites
  • Valid Synapse Mobility user account credentials
  • Network access to the Synapse Mobility application
  • Search function enabled in the system configuration
