CVE-2025-23405

5.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability involves improper output neutralization for logs (CWE-117) in DarioHealth medical devices, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious content into log files. This could obscure incident response efforts and potentially enable injection attacks. Affected systems include DarioHealth medical devices running vulnerable software versions.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • DarioHealth medical devices
Versions: Specific versions not detailed in provided references; consult vendor advisory for exact affected versions.
Operating Systems: Embedded/medical device OS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects devices with logging functionality enabled; medical devices often have specialized configurations.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers could inject malicious payloads into logs that might be parsed by downstream systems, potentially leading to log injection attacks, data manipulation, or obscuring forensic evidence during incident response.

🟠

Likely Case

Log manipulation that complicates incident response and forensic analysis, potentially hiding other malicious activities in system logs.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited to log file corruption without system compromise, with proper log validation and monitoring detecting anomalous entries.

🌐 Internet-Facing: MEDIUM - Medical devices may be internet-connected for telemetry, but exploitation requires specific access to logging interfaces.
🏢 Internal Only: LOW - Typically requires local network access to logging endpoints, though medical devices often have restricted network access.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Unauthenticated exploitation mentioned in description; log injection typically requires crafting specific log entries.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not specified in references; contact vendor for patched versions.

Vendor Advisory: https://www.dariohealth.com/contact/

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Contact DarioHealth via provided URL for patch details. 2. Obtain and apply vendor-provided firmware/software update. 3. Restart affected medical devices as required. 4. Verify patch application through version checks.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable or restrict logging interfaces

all

Temporarily disable or restrict access to logging endpoints to prevent exploitation.

Device-specific configuration commands; consult device manual.

Implement log validation

all

Add input validation to log processing systems to detect and reject malicious entries.

Configure log parsers to validate entries; implementation varies by system.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate affected devices on segmented networks to limit attack surface.
  • Implement strict monitoring of log files for anomalous entries and review logs regularly.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device firmware/software version against vendor advisory; test logging endpoints for injection vulnerabilities if authorized.

Check Version:

Device-specific command; typically via device management interface or console (e.g., 'show version' or similar).

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify updated version matches vendor patch version; test logging functionality for proper neutralization.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual log entries with special characters or injection patterns
  • Log file corruption or unexpected formatting

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual traffic to logging ports/interfaces on medical devices

SIEM Query:

source="medical_device_logs" AND (message="*injection*" OR message="*malicious*" OR message CONTAINS special characters)
