Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Drager Infinity Delta, Infinity Delta, all versions, Delta XL, all versions, Kappa, all version, and Infinity Explorer C700, all versions. Log files are accessible over an unauthenticated network connection. By accessing the log files, an attacker is able to gain insights about internals of the patient monitor, the location of the monitor, and wired network configuration.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Log files on Drager Infinity patient monitors (Delta, Delta XL, Kappa, C700) are accessible over an unauthenticated network connection, exposing device internals, physical location, and wired network configuration to remote attackers.

MitigationIsolate affected patient monitors on a restricted network segment with firewall rules blocking unauthorized access to log files; consult Drager for device-specific hardening guidance.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the device model
    Determine if the patient monitor is a Draeger Infinity Delta, Delta XL, Kappa, or C700 model by checking the device label, web interface, or system information
    Affected if The device is any of these four models (all versions affected)
  2. Verify network exposure of log files
    Attempt to access common log endpoints on the device IP (such as http://[device-ip]/logs, /logfiles, or similar paths) without providing credentials
    Affected if Log files are accessible without authentication
  3. Check for unauthenticated HTTP access
    Send an HTTP GET request to the device on typical web server ports (80, 8080) and examine if log directory listings or log file contents are returned without login
    Affected if The device serves log files or directory listings over HTTP without requiring authentication
  4. Inspect wired network configuration
    Review the device network settings to confirm it is connected to an accessible network segment rather than an isolated VLAN
    Affected if The device is on a network segment accessible to untrusted systems
  5. Confirm log file content exposure
    If log access is confirmed, examine retrieved files for sensitive information including device internals, physical location data, or wired network configuration
    Affected if Retrieved logs contain internal device details, location information, or network configuration data

A user is affected if they operate any Draeger Infinity Delta, Delta XL, Kappa, or C700 patient monitor with log files accessible over the network without authentication.
