Vulnerability

Philips discloses iSite and IntelliSpace PACS vulnerabilities in March 2018

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Mar 28 · 2 min read · Via Philips security advisory

Philips published a Responsible Disclosure advisory on March 28, 2018 concerning iSite and IntelliSpace PACS. The company confirmed that the systems contain security vulnerabilities that under certain specific conditions could compromise patient confidentiality, system integrity and system availability.

The brief gives no weakness list or fixed version. Philips later issued a second iSite and IntelliSpace PACS advisory in November 2018, so sites should treat this one as the start of a remediation track, not the end of it.

Remediation Desk

For ProvidersOperators, hospitals, and clinical engineering

Philips confirmed iSite and IntelliSpace PACS vulnerabilities but the brief names no fixed version. Get the configuration-specific remediation from Philips service and restrict network access to the archive.

Engage Philips service. Request the patches that apply to your PACS version and configuration.
Restrict inbound traffic. Allow only known modalities, viewers and interfaces to reach the PACS.
Inventory third-party software. List the operating system and components on PACS servers to speed later advisories.

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. The named product rows list what the sources state about the affected product.

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.
