{"id":"CVE-2017-12718","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2017-12718","generatedAt":"2026-10-29T00:35:18.907Z","title":"A Classic Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in Smiths Medical Medfusion 4000 Wireless Syringe Infusion Pump, Version 1.1, 1.5, and 1.6.","description":"A Classic Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in Smiths Medical Medfusion 4000 Wireless Syringe Infusion Pump, Version 1.1, 1.5, and 1.6. A third-party component used in the pump does not verify input buffer size prior to copying, leading to a buffer overflow, allowing remote code execution on the target device. The pump receives the potentially malicious input infrequently and under certain conditions, increasing the difficulty of exploitation.","published":"2018-02-15T10:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:03:50.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"ics-cert@hq.dhs.gov","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":8.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-120","CWE-119"],"affected":["smiths-medical/medfusion 4000 wireless syringe infusion pump"],"epss":{"score":0.12785,"percentile":0.96259,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.10767,"percentile":0.95697},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.12785,"percentile":0.96099}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":false,"firstPublished":"2018-01-18","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":43776,"kind":"exploit","title":"Smiths Medical Medfusion 4000 - 'DHCP' Denial of Service","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/43776","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/hardware/dos/43776.py","file":"exploits/hardware/dos/43776.py","published":"2018-01-18","added":"2018-01-18","updated":"2018-01-18","author":"Scott Gayou","type":"dos","platform":"hardware","port":null,"verified":false,"codes":["CVE-2017-12718"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":"https://github.com/sgayou/medfusion-4000-research/blob/3a85c1084bd41ca0b09fd05dcc5242663967ee98/doc/README.md"}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 12.8%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs.
