GE Healthcare has recalled 120 units of Centricity Universal Viewer Zero Footprint (ZFP) software due to a potential security vulnerability. This software is used by hospitals and medical facilities to view patient diagnostic images and health data. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, a malicious user could exploit this flaw to access the system and change or manipulate patient information. Medical facilities should stop using the software and contact the manufacturer to arrange for a security update.
The security flaw could allow an unauthorized user to gain access to the hospital's image viewing system. This creates a risk that patient medical records and images could be manipulated, potentially leading to incorrect diagnoses or improper treatment decisions.
Quantity 120 units distributed worldwide.
