Hospira MedNet software version 5.8 and prior uses vulnerable versions of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform software that may allow unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary code on the target system. Hospira has developed a new version of the MedNet software, MedNet 6.1. Existing versions of MedNet can be upgraded to MedNet 6.1.

The installation component in Hospira MedNet before 6.1 places cleartext credentials in configuration files, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading a file.

Hospira MedNet before 6.1 uses hardcoded cryptographic keys for protection of data transmission from infusion pumps, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.

Hospira MedNet before 6.1 uses a hardcoded cleartext password to control SQL database authorization, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging knowledge of this password.
