Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as very critical has been found in Medtronic MMT 508, MMT 522, MMT 722, MMT 523, MMT 723, MMT 523K, MMT 723K, MMT 551, MMT 751 and MMT 530G. Affected is some unknown functionality of the component Communication. The manipulation as part of a Insuline Pump leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Medtronic MMT 508 MiniMed insulin pump, 522 / MMT - 722 Paradigm REAL-TIME, 523 / MMT - 723 Paradigm Revel, 523K / MMT - 723K Paradigm Revel, and 551 / MMT - 751 MiniMed 530G communications between the pump and wireless accessories are transmitted in cleartext. A sufficiently skilled attacker could capture these transmissions and extract sensitive information, such as device serial numbers.
