Medtronic MiniMed MMT-500/MMT-503 Remote Controllers (Update A)

CVSS 5.3 MEDIUM

Risk Summary

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to replay captured wireless communications and cause an insulin (bolus) delivery. This is only possible when non-default options are configured. Additionally, the pump will annunciate this by providing a physical alert, and the user has the capability to suspend the bolus delivery.

Remediations

  • The remote option is turned off in the pump by default.
  • Medtronic is directing all users to stop using their remote controllers, disable the remote option on their insulin pump, and to return the remote controllers to Medtronic.
  • Medtronic has released additional patient focused information.
  • Additionally, Medtronic will be sending a letter to patients who may still be actively using the remotes in order to inform patients about these security risks, and request patients stop using the remote and return them to Medtronic.
