CVE-2019-6540 describes a lack of encryption in the Conexus telemetry protocol used by various Medtronic cardiac devices and monitoring systems, including MyCareLink Monitor, CareLink Monitor, and several ICD/CRT-D models. This vulnerability allows an attacker with adjacent short-range access to intercept sensitive data transmissions. Rated 6.5 Medium (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), it has a low attack complexity and requires no user interaction, but only impacts confidentiality. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or inclusion in the KEV catalog, though it has received some community discussion and media coverage.
