Vulnerability

B. Braun OnlineSuite ships WIBU CodeMeter with six vulnerabilities scored up to 9.8

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Feb 24 · 2 min read · Via B. Braun OnlineSuite WIBU CodeMeter notice

B. Braun published a notice on February 24, 2021, covering OnlineSuite AP 2.1.2 and 3.0. The suite is delivered with third-party WIBU CodeMeter, affected by CVE-2020-14509, CVE-2020-14513, CVE-2020-14515, CVE-2020-14517, CVE-2020-14519 and CVE-2020-16233, with a top CVSS v3 score of 9.8.

The flaws could allow license forgery, denial of service, possible remote code execution and heap reads. B. Braun says the issue is server-side only and patient safety is not affected.

License managers run as privileged network services on the server they protect. CodeMeter deserves its own patch schedule, separate from the application release cycle.

Fix the class in your product

The advisory is not for a bug you wrote; it is in a component you embed. As the maker, pin dependencies to fixed versions, generate an SBOM on every build including transitive components, and gate the pipeline on known-vulnerable components so an advisory maps to your products automatically.

Pin and inventory. Exact versions, and a CycloneDX or SPDX SBOM as a build artifact including transitive deps.
Gate on advisories. A CI scan fails a release carrying a component with a known advisory.
Own the field patch path. Know how you deliver a dependency or platform patch to fielded devices before you need it.
