Hospira has developed a new version of the MedNet software, MedNet 6.1. Hospira reports that MedNet 6.1 no longer uses hard-coded passwords, hard-coded cryptographic keys, and no longer stores passwords in clear text. Existing versions of MedNet can be upgraded to MedNet 6.1.
Hospira has produced mitigation recommendations that help mitigate the vulnerability in the vulnerable version of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform software, used in the MedNet software. This has been addressed by Hospira through issuance of the following knowledge based articles: Improving Security in Hospira MedNet 5.5 (August 2014) and Improving Security in Hospira MedNet 5.8 (August 2014).
