Abbott Laboratories pacemakers manufactured prior to Aug 28, 2017 do not restrict or limit the number of correctly formatted "RF wake-up" commands that can be received, which may allow a nearby attacker to repeatedly send commands to reduce pacemaker battery life. CVSS v3 base score: 5.3, CVSS vector string: AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H. Abbott has developed a firmware update to help mitigate the identified vulnerabilities.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Some Abbott pacemakers made before August 28, 2017 could be repeatedly awakened over nearby RF communication, consuming battery power faster than intended. This is a patient-safety and availability issue, not a data theft issue. Abbott developed a firmware update to help mitigate the vulnerability. Exposure is limited to listed Abbott pacemaker models manufactured before August 28, 2017. Organizations without those implanted or managed devices are not affected based on the provided sources. Treat as moderate urgency with clinical coordination. The issue affects device battery availability and patient safety, but the cited attack requires nearby access and high complexity, and no active exploitation is documented in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Identify affected Abbott pacemaker models and manufacturing dates.; Follow Abbott firmware update guidance for affected devices.; Coordinate remediation through cardiology or electrophysiology care teams..
