Multiple security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in Baxter’s internet-connected infusion pumps used by healthcare professionals in clinical environments to dispense medication to patients.
“Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in access to sensitive data and alteration of system configuration,” the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in a coordinated advisory.
Infusion pumps are internet-enabled devices used by hospitals to deliver medication and nutrition directly into a patient’s circulatory system.
