Descriptions

Philips e-Alert Unit (non-medical device), Version R2.1 and prior. The software transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors. The Philips e-Alert communication channel is not encrypted which could therefore lead to disclosure of personal contact information and application login credentials from within the same subnet.

Philips e-Alert Unit (dispositivo no médico), versiones R2.1 y anteriores. El software transmite datos sensibles o críticos para la seguridad en texto claro en un canal de comunicación que puede ser rastreado por actores no autorizados. El canal de comunicación de Philips e-Alert no está cifrado, lo que podría conducir, por lo tanto, a la divulgación de información personal de contacto y de las ccredenciales de inicio de sesión en la aplicación desde dentro de la misma subred.
