CVE-2017-11743: MEDHOST Connex contains a hard-coded Mirth Connect admin credential that is used for customer Mirth Connect...

MEDHOST Connex contains a hard-coded Mirth Connect admin credential that is used for customer Mirth Connect management access. An attacker with knowledge of the hard-coded credential and the ability to communicate directly with the Mirth Connect management console may be able to intercept sensitive patient information. The admin account password is hard-coded as $K8t1ng throughout the application, and is the same across all installations. Customers do not have the option to change the Mirth Connect admin account password. The Mirth Connect admin account is created during the Connex install. The plaintext account password is hard-coded multiple times in the Connex install and update scripts.

Security readout for executives and security teams

MEDHOST Connex used the same built-in administrator password for Mirth Connect management across installations. If someone can reach the management console and knows that credential, they may gain management access and intercept sensitive patient information. The sources do not provide version scope, a CVSS score, or evidence of active exploitation. Organizations using MEDHOST Connex with reachable Mirth Connect management consoles are the likely exposure. Public records do not define exact affected versions or CPEs, so asset confirmation must come from internal inventory and vendor guidance. Treat this as a high-priority healthcare data exposure risk if MEDHOST Connex is present. Urgency depends mainly on whether the Mirth Connect management console is reachable beyond tightly controlled administrative paths. Mitigation focus: Confirm current MEDHOST guidance for supported remediation or replacement steps.; Restrict Mirth Connect management console access to trusted administrative networks only.; Place Connex and Mirth management interfaces behind network segmentation and strong access controls..
