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
Dräger Infinity Explorer C700 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows attackers to break out of kiosk mode and access the underlying operating system through a specific dialog interaction. Attackers can exploit this kiosk escape to take control of the operating system and cause the device to display incorrect or no information from the connected Delta Family patient monitor.

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

A kiosk mode escape vulnerability in Dräger Infinity Explorer C700 allows attackers to break out of the restricted interface through a specific dialog interaction, gaining access to the underlying Windows operating system. Once escaped, attackers can take full control of the OS and interfere with the connection to Delta Family patient monitors, potentially causing incorrect or absent patient data display.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches for Infinity Explorer C700, implement application whitelisting and kiosk lockdown controls, restrict physical access to the device, and ensure network segmentation. Coordinate with Dräger for validated remediation given the medical device context.

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 device model
    Locate the medical device and confirm it is a Dräger Infinity Explorer C700 monitor station. Check device labeling, system information, or clinical documentation for the model number.
    Affected if The device is confirmed to be a Dräger Infinity Explorer C700 and runs the Dräger Infinity Explorer software.
  2. Confirm kiosk mode configuration
    Access the device settings or configuration panel to verify whether kiosk mode (restricted user mode) is enabled. Look for settings that lock the user interface to a specific application or prevent access to the Windows desktop.
    Affected if Kiosk mode is enabled on the device, which is the required condition for the kiosk escape vulnerability to apply.
  3. Inspect for unauthorized Windows access
    Check Windows event logs, user accounts, and recent session activity on the device for signs of desktop access that occurred outside the normal kiosk-mode application flow. Look for new user accounts, modified permissions, or unexpected processes.
    Affected if Evidence exists of unauthorized access to the Windows desktop or operating system beyond the intended kiosk-mode application.
  4. Review Delta Family monitor data integrity
    Compare the patient monitoring data displayed on the C700 with the actual output from connected Delta Family monitors. Check for discrepancies, missing data, or signs of manipulation in the data stream or display.
    Affected if Patient monitoring data from connected Delta Family monitors shows unexpected discrepancies or is missing, suggesting possible manipulation after a kiosk escape.
  5. Audit physical and peripheral access
    Inspect the device for unauthorized USB devices, external storage, or physical tampering. Review access logs if available for the physical location where the device is deployed.
    Affected if Physical security controls are inadequate or unauthorized peripheral devices are connected, increasing the likelihood of kiosk escape exploitation.

A user is affected if they operate a Dräger Infinity Explorer C700 device with kiosk mode enabled and there is evidence of unauthorized Windows desktop access or manipulation of Delta Family monitor data.
