AI Analysis

Impact

Private keys embedded within the application are protected only by a shared password. When an attacker obtains this password or a copy of the keys, they can sign assertions for any practitioner identifier, creating valid practitioner tokens. This permits unauthorized access to patient or clinical data, undermining the confidentiality and integrity of the medical information system.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects CompuGroup Medical products Infantia, Phronesis, Profim, and Venere. No specific version information is provided in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8 indicates high severity, but the EPSS score is not available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires access to the protected private keys or the shared password; an internal attacker or one who has compromised the system could exploit the flaw to impersonate practitioners. Once a forged token is issued, the attacker can request privileged services under an arbitrary practitioner identity.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Infantia, Phronesis, Profim, or Venere to a version that removes the embedded private keys or implements separate key management
  • Change the shared password that protects the embedded keys and enforce a strong password policy
  • Regenerate the private keys and reconfigure the system so that only authorized entities can sign practitioner assertions
  • Implement role‑based access controls for key usage and monitor for abnormal signing activity
