[TLP:CLEAR] GE HealthCare warns of 11 vulnerabilities

Nozomi Networks reports 11 vulnerabilities found in GE HealthCare products, namely in Common Service Desktop and EchoPAC Software Only. Common Service Desktop is an administrative web application preinstalled on several GE HealthCare devices, including ultrasound devices. EchoPAC Software Only is software used to display and analyze outputs from GE HealthCare devices [1][2]. GE HealthCare does not plan to release fixes for these vulnerabilities, so it is strongly recommended to restrict network access to individual vulnerable instances to trusted IP addresses only and also to restrict physical access to trusted persons only. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities could lead to theft or corruption of patient data, or to the unavailability of healthcare systems [1][2]. Most serious vulnerabilities:
