In Philips IntelliSpace Cardiovascular (ISCV) products (ISCV Version 2.x or prior and Xcelera Version 4.1 or prior), an attacker with escalated privileges could access folders which contain executables where authenticated users have write permissions, and could then execute arbitrary code with local administrative permissions.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
