bioMérieux finds vulnerable ActiveMQ versions in some products, CVE-2023-46604

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Apr 3 · 2 min read · Via bioMérieux security advisories

bioMérieux updated its Apache ActiveMQ advisory on April 3, 2024 for CVE-2023-46604. Its investigations found that while many products are not affected, some products do include versions of ActiveMQ that are vulnerable.

The company reports no evidence of exploitation on its products and tells customers to follow the recommendations sent to them or contact a local bioMérieux representative. The public advisory names no products, and its background paragraph repeats the Mirth Connect wording from the neighboring entry, so the customer letter is the document to act on.

For Device ManufacturersAm I affected, and how to fix the class

Am I affected?

This class applies to devices with the signals and properties below. Check them against your product to gauge exposure.

Off-the-shelf software

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.
