Infinity Acute Care System: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
CVE-2022-4992 is a high-severity insufficient verification of data authenticity vulnerability in Infinity Acute Care System from Dräger, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.6 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions VG4.2, VG4.1.1, VG4.0.3 as the first without the flaw, so updating Infinity Acute Care System to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Infinity Acute Care System to VG4.2 or VG4.1.1 or VG4.0.3, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Update Standalone Infinity M540 patient monitor to VG4.2 or VG4.1.1, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Read the advisory on static.draeger.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Dräger Infinity Acute Care System and Standalone Infinity M540 patient monitors versions VG4.1.1, VG4.0.3, and lower (with VG4.2 partially affected) contain a network message handling vulnerability that allows remote attackers to inject spoofed or tampered data and cause denial-of-service conditions. Attackers can compromise network communications to modify device settings such as alarm states or alarm limits, or overwhelm the system with excessive network traffic causing the Cockpit or M540 to reboot and lose network functionality.

The underlying weakness: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.
