Web Vulnerabilities in syngo Dynamics before VA40G HF01

Publication Date: 2022-11-17
Last Update: 2022-11-17
Current Version: V1.0
CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.1

SUMMARY

Web services in the syngo Dynamics server before version VA40G HF01 are impacted by multiple vulnerabilities that could allow Man-in-the-Middle attacks, leaking NTLM credentials and to read/write data to the local file system.
Note: The vulnerable web services are not intended to be exposed to the Internet. The Internet facing Web Portal part of the syngo Dynamics is not affected by the vulnerabilities.
Siemens Healthineers has released an update for the syngo Dynamics and recommends to update to the latest version.

WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS

Siemens Healthineers has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations that customers can apply to reduce the risk:

  • The web services should never be exposed to the Internet (except Web Portal layer)
  • Access to the application server should be limited to only those nodes that require syngo Dynamics functionality

Product-specific remediations or mitigations can be found in the section Affected Products and Solution.
Please follow the General Security Recommendations.


GENERAL SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS

In addition, Siemens Healthineers recommends the following:

  • Ensure you have appropriate backups and system restoration procedures.
  • Securely delete any backup files that are no longer needed.
  • For specific patch and remediation guidance information contact your local Siemens Healthineers Customer Service Engineer, portal or our Regional Support Center. To find your local contact, please refer to https://www.siemens-healthineers.com/how-can-we-help-you

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

syngo Dynamics Cardiovascular Imaging and Information System (CVIS) is used for the acceptance,
transfer, display, storage, archive and manipulation of digital medical images, as well as quantification
and report generation. syngo Dynamics also provides the ability to manage patient information, order
entry, workflow management and business analytics.


VULNERABILITY CLASSIFICATION

The vulnerability classification has been performed by using the CVSS scoring system in version 3.1 (CVSS v3.1) (https://www.first.org/cvss/). The CVSS environmental score is specific to the customer’s environment and will impact the overall CVSS score. The environmental score should therefore be individually defined by the customer to accomplish final scoring.
An additional classification has been performed using the CWE classification, a community-developed list of common software security weaknesses. This serves as a common language and as a baseline for weakness identification, mitigation, and prevention efforts. A detailed list of CWE classes can be found at: https://cwe.mitre.org/.
