CVE-2014-5406: Hospira LifeCare PCA Infusion System

The Hospira LifeCare PCA Infusion System before 7.0 does not validate network traffic associated with sending a (1) drug library, (2) software update, or (3) configuration change, which allows remote attackers to modify settings or medication data via packets on the (a) TELNET, (b) HTTP, (c) HTTPS, or (d) UPNP port. NOTE: this issue might overlap CVE-2015-3459.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects Hospira LifeCare PCA infusion systems before version 7.0. The device may accept unvalidated network traffic for drug libraries, software updates, or configuration changes, creating a patient-safety and operational risk if an attacker can reach exposed services. Exposure is most relevant in healthcare environments running Hospira LifeCare PCA systems before 7.0, especially where device networks are reachable from broader hospital, vendor, or untrusted networks. Treat this as high priority for hospitals using these pumps. The main concern is unauthorized modification of medication or device settings, not broad IT compromise. Prioritize inventory, isolation, and vendor-confirmed remediation. Mitigation focus: Identify all Hospira LifeCare PCA systems and their software versions.; Check Hospira, FDA, and CISA guidance for approved update or mitigation steps.; Restrict access to TELNET, HTTP, HTTPS, and UPNP services where clinically safe..

Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
