- CVE-2021-3788MEDIUMCVSS 6.8EG 6.82021-11-12
An exposed debug interface was reported in some Motorola-branded Binatone Hubble Cameras that could allow an attacker with physical access unauthorized access to the device.
- CVE-2022-43557MEDIUMCVSS 5.3EG 5.32022-12-05
The BD BodyGuard™ infusion pumps specified allow for access through the RS-232 (serial) port interface. If exploited, threat actors with physical access, specialized equipment and knowledge may be able to configure or disable the pump.…
- CVE-2023-29060MEDIUMCVSS 5.4EG 5.42023-11-28
The FACSChorus workstation operating system does not restrict what devices can interact with its USB ports. If exploited, a threat actor with physical access to the workstation could gain access to system information and potentially exfilt…
- CVE-2023-29063LOWCVSS 2.4EG 2.42023-11-28
The FACSChorus workstation does not prevent physical access to its PCI express (PCIe) slots, which could allow a threat actor to insert a PCI card designed for memory capture. A threat actor can then isolate sensitive information such as a…
- CVE-2024-39723MEDIUMCVSS 4.6EG 4.62024-07-08
IBM FlashSystem 5300 USB ports may be usable even if the port has been disabled by the administrator. A user with physical access to the system could use the USB port to cause loss of access to data. IBM X-Force ID: 295935.
- CVE-2024-47944MEDIUMCVSS 6.8EG 9.82024-10-15
The device directly executes .patch firmware upgrade files on a USB stick without any prior authentication in the admin interface. This leads to an unauthenticated code execution via the firmware upgrade function.
