Settings modification and startup interruption via serial port
Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Nov 26, 2024
Improper physical access protection in Abbott ID NOW before 7.1 allows physically proximate attackers to alter settings or interrupt startup. Direct intrusion exposes an internal serial port or memory that accepts tampering capable of changing device configuration or disrupting the boot sequence. Abbott has not published the commands or validation failure involved; exploitation requires opening the instrument, and the reported consequences are configuration changes and startup interruption.
