02 Description

Eppendorf BioFlo 320 Use of hard-coded password

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.
  • AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
  • 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
0.49% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile
Equal to or higher than the score of 42.3% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
NVD base score
9.3 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation

Eppendorf has released a software update that permanently removes VNC access from the controller. Users should download and apply this update from: https://www.eppendorf.com/software-downloads. https://www.eppendorf.com/software-downloads All affected BioFlo 320 systems always shipped with Virtual Network Computing (VNC) disabled by default, and VNC can only be enabled locally at the tower. Eppendorf has removed VNC configuration information from all current documentation, so it no longer appears in BioFlo 320 Operating Manuals. Eppendorf recommends user do the following: - Verify that VNC is disabled on the controller - Enable security so that only Admin and Supervisor roles can change VNC settings - Install Version 5.0 Software as soon as possible
