CVE-2020-12024 — Baxter Em2400 Firmware security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 6.1

Baxter ExactaMix EM 2400 versions 1.10, 1.11, 1.13, 1.14 and ExactaMix EM1200 Versions 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5 does not restrict access to the USB interface from an unauthorized user with physical access. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker with physical access to the system the ability to load an unauthorized payload or unauthorized access to the hard drive by booting a live USB OS. This could impact confidentiality and integrity of the system and risk exposure of sensitive information including PHI.

Matched remediation archetype

Authorization bypass, IDOR, and cross-tenant access

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map object and action authorization checks across API, UI, batch, import/export, and background-job paths.
  • Identify tenant, ownership, role, and policy boundaries for affected resources and administrative operations.
  • Use synthetic fixtures to compare intended access matrices without accessing another user's real data.

Remediate safely

  • Enforce server-side authorization at each resource access and state transition using the authenticated principal and trusted tenant context.
  • Scope data queries by tenant and ownership; treat client-supplied identifiers, roles, and policy claims as untrusted.
  • Add deny-by-default policy tests for horizontal and vertical access across every affected transport.
