By | June 11, 2021

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a security advisory warning about 6 vulnerabilities in the ZOLL Defibrillator Dashboard, including one critical 9.9 severity remote code execution flaw.

The vulnerabilities were reported to CISA anonymously and affect all versions of the ZOLL Defibrillator Dashboard prior to version 2.2. Some of the flaws can be exploited remotely and require a low level of skill to exploit.

Exploitation of the vulnerabilities could allow non-admin users to achieve remote code execution and steal credentials, which would impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application.

Customers have been advised to upgrade the solution to version 2.2 or later as soon as possible. ZOLL also explained that in the event of any discrepancy with the Defibrillator Dashboard, the defibrillator device should be considered the source of accurate data.

The vulnerabilities are as follows:
