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-2018-8849/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8849/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-8849","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8849/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-8849","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w48q-g7g7-4m96"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"n\\'vision_8840_firmware","vendor":"medtronic"},{"product":"n\\'vision_8870_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-311","name":"Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data"}],"description":"Medtronic N'Vision Clinician Programmer 8840 N'Vision Clinician Programme and 8870 N'Vision removable Application Card do not encrypt PII and PHI 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 N'Vision Clinician Programmer Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data","id":"CVE-2018-8849","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in e-Alert Unit (non-medical device)","id":"CVE-2018-8850"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in e-Alert Unit (non-medical device)","id":"CVE-2018-8848"},"products":["8870 N’Vision removable Application Card","N'Vision Clinician Programmer"],"published":"2018-05-18","related":[{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Medtronic N'Vision Clinician Programmer Protection Mechanism Failure","id":"CVE-2018-10631","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-13"}],"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":"2025-06-27","vendors":["Medtronic"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8849/"}
