Philips DreamMapper exposes log file information in versions 2.24.x and prior

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Jul 30 · 2 min read · Via Philips security advisory

Philips issued an advisory on July 30, 2020 for its DreamMapper software. The company described a potential medium-severity vulnerability regarding access to log file information, affecting only versions 2.24.x and prior.

DreamMapper is the companion app for Philips sleep therapy, used by patients at home. Logs on a patient's phone can hold therapy and device details, so anyone who can read them learns more than the app intends to share. Keep sensitive values out of logs in the first place.

DreamMapper versions 2.24.x and prior expose log file information. Move users to a later release through the app store and confirm the update took. Review what the app writes to logs.

Update DreamMapper. Have patients install a release later than 2.24.x.
Audit app logging. Remove therapy and account details from log output in future builds.
Tell support staff. Give help desk staff the affected version range so they can check patient installs.

The login worked; the authorization did not follow through on every object the request names. As the maker, authorize every object reference on the server against the caller, return uniform responses so nothing can be enumerated, and strip internal detail from what the backend returns.

Authorize per object. Check on the server that the caller may see the specific record a request names, on every request.
Answer uniformly. Login and lookup respond identically for present and absent accounts.
Return generic errors. Log detail server-side; never leak internal state to the client.
