The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not provide any warranties of any kind regarding any information contained within. DHS does not endorse any commercial product or service, referenced in this product or otherwise. Further dissemination of this product is governed by the Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) marking in the header. For more information about TLP, see https://us-cert.cisa.gov/tlp/.
Risk evaluation
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to remotely send specially formatted UDP requests or connect to an unknown external network that would allow them to write arbitrary data, resulting in remote code execution. The device may also leak patient information and sensor data to the same unknown external network. Simultaneous exploitation of all vulnerable devices on a shared network is possible.
Critical infrastructure sectors
Healthcare and Public Health
Countries/areas deployed
Worldwide
Company headquarters location
China
Recommended Practices
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities, such as:
Recommended Practices
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.
Recommended Practices
Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. Update firewall rules to prevent access to potentially affected devices.
Recommended Practices
If network connected, ensure all medical devices are on a separate, low privilege subnet.
Recommended Practices
Only use trusted manufacturers for safety critical systems.
Recommended Practices
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
Recommended Practices
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Recommended Practices
CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.
Recommended Practices
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Recommended Practices
Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
Recommended Practices
No known public exploitation specifically targeting these vulnerabilities has been reported to CISA at this time.
