Vulnerability

Philips lists PIC iX and Focal Point under Chromium ANGLE zero day CVE-2024-2883

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Apr 5 · 2 min read · Via Philips product security advisories 2024

Philips posted a notice on April 5, 2024 on CVE-2024-2883, a critical severity zero day in every Chromium based browser, Edge included. The flaw is in ANGLE, the Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine used by the WebGL renderer.

The listed products are Care Event, PIC iX (all versions), Data Warehouse Connect, Focal Point and the Acute Patient Monitoring Platform (ACPMP). Browser bugs land in monitoring advisories because the browser ships on the clinical host. Keep those hosts off the open web.

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.
