It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-18984 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Medtronic 29901 Encore Programmer. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18984/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18984/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-18984","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18984/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-18984","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-474q-vp74-243q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Medtronic medical programmer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers with physical access can read unencrypted sensitive patient data stored on Medtronic CareLink and Encore Programmers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"29901_encore_programmer_firmware","vendor":"medtronic"},{"product":"carelink_2090_programmer_firmware","vendor":"medtronic"},{"product":"carelink_9790_programmer_firmware","vendor":"medtronic"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-312","name":"Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information"},{"id":"CWE-311","name":"Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data"}],"description":"Medtronic CareLink and Encore Programmers\n\n do not encrypt or do not sufficiently encrypt sensitive \nPII and PHI information while at rest .","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Medtronic 9790, 2090 CareLink, and 29901 Encore Programmers Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data","id":"CVE-2018-18984","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Tridium Niagara Enterprise Security 2.3u1, all versions prior to 2.3.118.6, Niagara AX 3.8u4, all versions prior to 3.8.401.1, Niagara 4.4u2, all versions prior to 4.4.93.40.2, and Niagara 4.6, all versions prior to 4.6.96.28.4","id":"CVE-2018-18985"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-18983"},"products":["29901 Encore Programmer","CareLink 2090 Programmer","CareLink 9790 Programmer"],"published":"2018-12-14","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-22","vendors":["Medtronic"]},"summary":"Attackers with physical access can read unencrypted sensitive patient data stored on Medtronic CareLink and Encore Programmers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18984/"}
