CVE-2018-14781
Medtronic MiniMed MMT-500/MMT-503 Remote Controllers Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay
Medtronic MiniMed MMT
devices when paired with a remote controller and having the “easy bolus” and “remote bolus” options enabled (non-default), are vulnerable to a capture-replay attack. An attacker can capture the wireless transmissions between the remote controller and the pump and replay them to cause an insulin (bolus) delivery.
