Baxter says Amia and Kaguya use Axeda agents named in PTC's Access:7 advisory

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Mar 22 · 2 min read · Via Baxter PTC Axeda bulletin

Baxter published a bulletin on March 22, 2022, stating that Amia and Kaguya, in all fielded versions, use Axeda agents listed in PTC's Access:7 advisory on the Axeda agent and Axeda Desktop Server for Windows. The bulletin gives no CVE list or score.

Baxter states additional design features mitigate the risk and that it is working with PTC to upgrade the Axeda agent during 2022. Remote service agents age with the device they ship in, so the upgrade date matters more than the mitigation language.

For ProvidersOperators, hospitals, and clinical engineering

Baxter relies on design mitigations for Amia and Kaguya while it works with PTC on an Axeda agent upgrade planned for 2022. Track that upgrade with Baxter and confirm it lands on every fielded unit.

Confirm the agent upgrade. Ask Baxter for the Axeda agent upgrade status for each Amia and Kaguya unit.
Record the component. List the Axeda agent in the device SBOM so future PTC advisories are matched quickly.
Watch for PTC updates. Check PTC's Access:7 advisory and Baxter's bulletin for revisions.

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.
