CVE-2020-12036 describes a critical vulnerability in Baxter PrismaFlex and PrisMax devices, where they fail to encrypt sensitive patient data when transmitting to Patient Data Management Systems or Electronic Medical Record systems. This oversight allows an attacker to intercept and observe confidential treatment information. Rated with a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), the vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low complexity, potentially leading to a complete compromise of data confidentiality. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion has been observed, the absence of encryption poses a significant risk to patient privacy.
