Infantia: Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key
CVE-2026-118460 is a high-severity use of hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability in Infantia from CompuGroup Medical, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.0 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected Infantia versions: 6.09.1 and earlier; 5.1.1 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.25% 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
- Check which version of Infantia you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
