GE Healthcare recalls ViewPoint 6 systems with specific model numbers due to a potential vulnerability in software that could allow unauthorized access to patient data. Affected units include models H47581RJ through H47591YA.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has identified in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) that NexGen Healthcare Mirth Connect, prior to version 4.4.1, has a potential vulnerability allowing the deserialization of untrusted data (CVE-2023-43208). Mirth products may have been installed and configured with your ViewPoint / ViewPoint 6 system by GE HealthCare. This vulnerability could allow a malicious actor to access the system and potentially manipulate patient data.
GE Healthcare is recalling specific versions of their ViewPoint 6 medical imaging systems because a software vulnerability could allow attackers to access patient data. This risk exists if the system was installed by GE Healthcare without proper security updates.
The vulnerability allows malicious actors to access the system and potentially manipulate patient data. This occurs because older versions of the software (prior to version 4.4.1) have a flaw in how they handle untrusted data, which could be exploited by attackers.
Healthcare facilities using GE Healthcare ViewPoint 6 systems with the listed model numbers are most at risk. Patients and staff using these systems could face potential data exposure if the vulnerability is exploited.
Check your ViewPoint 6 system's model number against the list: H47581RJ, H47591MA, H47591MT, H47591PE, H47591PR, H47591RA, H47591SD, or H47591YA. The system may have specific system ID numbers listed in the recall details.
