Philips healthcare infomatics solution vulnerable to SQL injection
2021-11-05 15:23

The Philips Tasy EMR, used by hundreds of hospitals as a medical record solution and healthcare management system, is vulnerable to two critical SQL injection flaws.

These are SQL injection flaws via two parameters, relying on the improper escaping of special characters in SQL commands.

The affected versions of the product are Tasy EMR HTML5 3.06.1803 and prior, so all organizations using the healthcare suite are urged to upgrade to version 3.06.1804 or later.

"Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents," warned the advisory from CISA. According to Philips, the Tasy EMR is used by nearly 1,000 healthcare institutions around the world, and is the leading informatics solution in Latin America.

The Tasy EMR product holds sensitive medical records, patient care histories, medical supply details, financial and billing info, and general hospital management data.

Healthcare organizations should take steps to minimize the network exposure of similar systems, isolate them from external-facing networks, and deploy firewalls.
