As many as seven security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in PTC’s Axeda software that could be weaponized to gain unauthorized access to medical and IoT devices.
Collectively called “Access:7,” the weaknesses – three of which are rated Critical in severity – potentially affect more than 150 device models spanning over 100 different manufacturers, posing a significant supply chain risk.
PTC’s Axeda solution includes a cloud platform that allows device manufacturers to establish connectivity to remotely monitor, manage and service a wide range of connected machines, sensors, and devices via what’s called the agent, which is installed by the OEMs before the devices are sold to customers.
