Physical software-integrity compromise via unprotected USB interfaces
Published Jun 2, 2026 · Updated Jun 2, 2026
CWE-668 in Dräger Zeus IE before 1.0.5 and Zeus RS C500 before 1.0.9 allows physically proximate attackers to compromise software integrity. The exposed USB interfaces permit unauthorized manipulation, but Dräger has not disclosed the USB operation or software validation failure involved. Physical access is required; successful exploitation can impair therapy, alter processed data, or turn a networked workstation into a pivot point.
