### Impact Any network-reachable caller can write arbitrary documents to any patient's electronic health record accessible by the institution's SMC-B card. In a misconfigured deployment (e.g., following the production Docker example in the README), this is exploitable from the local network without credentials. ### Patches - #43 ### Workarounds Use network policies or proxies to enforce service-to-service authentication via e.g. mTLS. - run the service in an isolated network namespace e.g. as Kubernetes sidecar - service-mesh with corresponding policies ### References - MS-OVIVA-EPA4ALL-8b2af7 ### Credits Machine Spirits (contact@machinespirits.de) - Dr. rer. nat.

03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
