Fresenius says Fresenius Medical Care 5008, 6008 and BCM are not affected by Access:7 Axeda flaws

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Jun 29 · 2 min read · Via Fresenius Access:7 statement

Fresenius published an Access:7 statement on June 29, 2022. It covers seven vulnerabilities in PTC's Axeda agent and Axeda Desktop Server, CVE-2022-25246 to CVE-2022-25252, described in ICS advisory ICSA-22-067-01 with an overall CVSS v3 score of 9.8, rated critical.

Fresenius Medical Care lists the 5008, 5008s and 6008 systems, Silencia, SleepSafe Harmony and the BCM Body Composition Monitor as assessed and not affected in all versions. The statement says none of the Access:7 vulnerabilities can be exploited on these products.

Axeda is remote service software, and the flaws include hard-coded credentials and missing authentication for a critical function. With the treatment machines cleared, the next thing to check in the same fleet is any remote service gateway or vendor support tool.

For ProvidersOperators, hospitals, and clinical engineering

Fresenius says the Access:7 flaws, CVE-2022-25246 to CVE-2022-25252, cannot be exploited on the 5008, 5008s, 6008, Silencia, SleepSafe Harmony or BCM, so no device fix applies. Check any other system in the fleet that runs a PTC Axeda agent. Keep Fresenius devices off the Internet and inside a dedicated medical network.

Search for Axeda. Inventory any PTC Axeda agent or Axeda Desktop Server on remote service tools and gateways in the fleet.
Record the assessment. File the June 29, 2022 Fresenius statement against the listed Fresenius Medical Care products.
Limit remote exposure. Ensure medical devices and systems are not accessible from the Internet, as Fresenius recommends.

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.
