CVE-2021-33022: Philips Vue PACS Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Philips Vue PACS versions 12.2.x.x and prior transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.

HighCVSS 7.5Not KEV-listedUpdated
Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue means some Philips Vue systems can send sensitive or security-critical data without encryption. Someone able to observe the network path could sniff that traffic. The source bundle names Philips Vue PACS 12.2.x.x and prior and also lists Vue MyVue, Vue Speech, and Vue Motion, but exact version coverage is incomplete. Most likely exposure is healthcare environments running Philips Vue PACS 12.2.x.x or prior, or the listed Vue MyVue, Vue Speech, and Vue Motion products. Internet exposure is not stated in the sources; network-path access is the key condition. Treat this as a high-priority medical imaging systems risk. It may affect clinical technology handling sensitive workflows, and incomplete version evidence means asset owners should verify exposure directly with Philips guidance before assuming they are safe. Mitigation focus: Check Philips Product Security for current vendor remediation guidance.; Review the CISA medical advisory before making operational changes.; Inventory Philips Vue PACS 12.2.x.x and prior deployments..
