02 Description

Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinKNOW Insufficiently Protected Credentials

03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation

Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.

SSVC decision

ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.

CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.

EPSS probability

0.15% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.

EPSS percentile

Equal to or higher than the score of 5.0% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.

NVD base score

7.3 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation

Oxford Nanopore Technologies recommends users upgrade to MinKNOW Versions later than 24.11 https://nanoporetech.com/software/ to eliminate these vulnerabilities. If users are unable to upgrade to v24.11 to reduce risk from the remaining Authentication Token and Token Lock vulnerabilities, Oxford Nanopore advises the following additional measures for users on version 24.06: * Remote Connect: Keep Remote Connect disabled in MinKNOW unless strictly required, and enable it only within trusted network environments. * Endpoint Protection: Install and maintain antivirus and malware scanning tools to mitigate denial-of-service (DoS) conditions arising from local exploitation or malware. Users running older versions of MinKNOW who cannot upgrade immediately should contact Oxford Nanopore Support https://nanoporetech.com/about/contact for guidance on securing their configurations. Downloading the release requires users to be logged into the Nanopore Community.
