What to do

AI-suggested

Since the vulnerability involves missing authentication on the FHIR API, implementing proper authentication and access controls on the API is recommended to prevent unauthorized queries. Network segmentation to restrict access to the medical office's local network may also reduce risk. Monitor vendor advisories for any forthcoming patches or official guidance.

Description

An unauthenticated attacker with local network access to a medical office can query an unprotected Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) API to access sensitive electronic health records (EHR). This vulnerability allows unauthorized disclosure of confidential patient data without requiring authentication.
