1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  o CVSS v3 7.3
  o ATTENTION: Low skill level to exploit
  o Vendor: Philips
  o Equipment: Philips' IntelliSpace Cardiovascular (ISCV) products
  o Vulnerabilities: Improper Privilege Management, Unquoted Search Path or
    Element

2. RISK EVALUATION

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker with
local access and users privileges to the ISCV/Xcelera server to escalate
privileges on the ISCV/Xcelera server and execute arbitrary code.

3. TECHNICAL DETAILS

3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS

The following versions of Philips' IntelliSpace Cardiovascular (ISCV)
products, a comprehensive cardiac image and information management software,
are affected:

  o IntelliSpace Cardiovascular, Version 3.1 or prior, and
  o Xcelera Version 4.1 or prior.

3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

3.2.1    IMPROPER PRIVILEGE MANAGEMENT CWE-269

For 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.

CVE-2018-14787 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score
of 7.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U
/C:L/I:H/A:H).
 
3.2.2    UNQUOTED SEARCH PATH OR ELEMENT CWE-428

For ISCV Version 3.1 or prior and Xcelera Version 4.1 or prior, an unquoted
search path or element vulnerability has been identified, which may allow an
attacker to execute arbitrary code and escalate their level of privileges.

CVE-2018-14789 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score
of 4.2 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U
/C:L/I:L/A:L).

3.3 BACKGROUND

  o CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Healthcare and Public Health
  o COUNTRIES/AREAS DEPLOYED: Worldwide
  o COMPANY HEADQUARTERS LOCATION: Netherlands

3.4 RESEARCHER

Philips reported these vulnerabilities to NCCIC.

4. MITIGATIONS

For ISCV Version 2.x or prior and Xcelera Version 4.1 or prior, this has been
mitigated in ISCV 3.1. Users should contact their local Philips service
support team of their regional service support for upgrade instructions.

For ISCV Version 3.1 or prior and Xcelera Version 4.1 or prior, this will be
mitigated in ISCV Version 3.2, scheduled to be released in October 2018.

As an interim mitigation to the vulnerabilities until ISCV Version 3.2 can be
applied, Philips recommends that users:

  o Review their file permission policies and where possible restrict
    available permissions.

Users with questions regarding their specific IntelliSpace Cardiovascular
installations are advised by Philips to contact their local Philips service
support team or their regional service support. Philips contact information is
available at the following location:

information for Philips products:

NCCIC recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:

  o Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems,
    and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
  o Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and
    isolate them from the business network.
  o When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual
    Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities
    and should be updated to the most current version available. Also
    recognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.

NCCIC reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

NCCIC also provides a section for control systems security recommended
practices on the ICS-CERT web page. Several recommended practices are
available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control
Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.

Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly
available on the ICS-CERT website in the Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies.

Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to NCCIC for
tracking and correlation against other incidents.

No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities. These
vulnerabilities are not exploitable remotely.
