CVE-2022-0922

Service shutdown via unauthenticated remote command

Published Apr 1, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

Missing authentication in Philips e-Alert before 2.7 allows remote attackers on the same subnet to shut down the hardware solution. Philips has not identified the command-handling endpoint, but states that the system accepts a remote shutdown command without authenticating its sender. Exploitation requires same-subnet access and interrupts monitoring until the hardware is manually powered on.
