Title
Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Contec Health CMS8000 Patient Monitor
Summary
In its default configuration, Contec Health CMS8000 Patient Monitor transmits plain-text
patient data to a hard-coded public IP address when a patient is hooked
up to the monitor. This could lead to a leakage of confidential patient
data to any device with that IP address or an attacker in a
machine-in-the-middle scenario.
