Data compromise and crashes via undisclosed coding failures

Published Apr 1, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

Improper coding practices in Philips Vue PACS, MyVue, Speech, and Motion allow remote attackers to access data or crash systems. The CNA and Philips identify noncompliance with coding rules but do not disclose the affected component, faulty operation, or triggering input for this CVE. Vue PACS, MyVue, and Speech 12.2.x.x and earlier and Vue Motion 12.2.1.5 and earlier are affected; exploitation requires user interaction and high attack complexity.
