CVE-2019-10964: Medtronic MiniMed 508 and Paradigm Series Insulin Pumps Improper Access Control

Medtronic MiniMed Insulin Pumps are designed to communicate using a wireless RF with other devices, such as blood glucose meters, glucose sensor transmitters, and CareLink USB devices. This wireless RF communication protocol does not properly implement authentication or authorization. An attacker with adjacent access to one of the affected insulin pump models can inject, replay, modify, and/or intercept data. This vulnerability could also allow attackers to change pump settings and control insulin delivery.

Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

Security readout for executives and security teams

Certain legacy Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps use wireless RF communication without proper authentication or authorization. A nearby attacker could interfere with pump communications and potentially alter settings or insulin delivery. This is a high medical-device risk, but the source bundle does not show confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is limited to listed Medtronic MiniMed 508 and Paradigm pump models still in use. The attacker must have adjacent wireless RF access, so this is not described as an internet-exposed vulnerability. Treat this as a high-priority medical-device exposure if affected pumps are still deployed. The business issue is patient safety and clinical risk, not broad network compromise. Mitigation focus: Identify whether any listed MiniMed 508 or Paradigm pumps remain in use.; Review Medtronic and CISA guidance for approved replacement, configuration, or clinical risk actions.; Do not assume a software patch exists unless vendor guidance confirms it..
