CVE-2018-10626: Medtronic MyCareLink 24950 Patient Monitor Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
Medtronic MyCareLink Patient Monitor’s update service does not sufficiently verify the authenticity of the data uploaded. An
attacker who obtains per-product credentials from the monitor and paired
implantable cardiac device information can potentially upload invalid
data to the Medtronic CareLink network.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This issue affects Medtronic MyCareLink 24950 and 24952 patient monitors. If an attacker obtains product-specific credentials from a monitor plus paired cardiac device information, they may upload invalid data to the Medtronic CareLink network. The business risk is data integrity, not direct device control based on the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely in healthcare environments using Medtronic 24950 or 24952 MyCareLink monitors connected to CareLink workflows. The source bundle lists all versions, but exploitation also requires obtained per-product credentials and paired implantable cardiac device information. Treat as a moderate medical-device data-integrity risk. Prioritize inventory, vendor guidance review, and operational controls for affected monitors. Escalate if these monitors support high-volume or safety-sensitive remote cardiac monitoring workflows. Mitigation focus: Identify any Medtronic 24950 or 24952 MyCareLink monitors in use.; Review Medtronic’s bulletin and CISA ICSMA-18-219-01 for official guidance.; Protect monitors and related credentials from unauthorized physical or local access..

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.
