Experts have warned of 15 vulnerabilities affecting Philips Vue healthcare products. The flaws, many of which exist in third-party components, affect several Philips Clinical Collaboration Platform Portal (Vue PACS) products, including MyVue, Vue Speech and Vue Motion. Accordingly, of the 15 vulnerabilities, only 7 appear to be specific to Philips products, while the rest impact third-party components such as Redis, 7-Zip, Oracle Database, jQuery, Python and Apache Tomcat.

The third-party component flaws were identified between 2012 and 2020, but all issues specific to Philips products received CVE identifiers in 2021.

Experts said that these vulnerabilities are related to improper input validation, memory bugs, improper authentication, insecure/improper initialization of resources, use of expired cryptographic keys, use of weak cryptographic algorithms, improper use of protection mechanisms, data integrity issues, cross-site scripting (XSS), improperly protected credentials, and the plaintext transmission of sensitive data.

“Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an unauthorized person or process to eavesdrop, view or modify data, gain system access, perform code execution, install unauthorized software, or affect system data integrity in such a way as to negatively impact the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the system,” experts said.

According to experts, some of these vulnerabilities have already been fixed, but patches for others will be available in the first quarter of 2022.
