Vulnerability

Philips lists IntelliSpace PACS under F5 BIG-IP CVE-2022-41622 and CVE-2022-41800

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Nov 18 · 2 min read · Via Philips product security advisories, 2022 archive

Philips posted an advisory on November 18, 2022, listing IntelliSpace PACS as in scope for two critical F5 vulnerabilities, CVE-2022-41622 and CVE-2022-41800, in the BIG-IP and BIG-IQ product line.

F5 was still working on a fix at the time. A PACS that depends on an unpatched load balancer inherits the balancer's exposure until that fix ships, so the interim control is keeping BIG-IP management interfaces off any network a workstation can reach.

For ProvidersOperators, hospitals, and clinical engineering

F5 had no fix for CVE-2022-41622 and CVE-2022-41800 when Philips posted its November 18, 2022 notice. Restrict BIG-IP and BIG-IQ management access around IntelliSpace PACS now, then apply F5's fix once released and confirm with Philips.

Lock down management. Limit BIG-IP and BIG-IQ management interfaces to an administrative segment.
Track F5's release. Apply F5's fix for CVE-2022-41622 and CVE-2022-41800 when it ships.
Confirm with Philips. Verify with Philips service that the F5 change is supported for your IntelliSpace PACS deployment.

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.
