CVE-2020-27268
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 · uneditedIn SOOIL Developments Co., Ltd Diabecare RS, AnyDana-i and AnyDana-A, a client-side control vulnerability in the insulin pump and its AnyDana-i and AnyDana-A mobile applications allows physically proximate attackers to bypass checks for default PINs via Bluetooth Low Energy.
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 · moderate confidenceA client-side control vulnerability in SOOIL's Diabecare RS insulin pump and its AnyDana-i/AnyDana-A mobile applications allows physically proximate attackers to bypass PIN authentication checks via Bluetooth Low Energy. The vulnerability exists in the client-side validation of PINs, enabling an attacker within BLE range to gain unauthorized access to the insulin delivery system.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the insulin pump or mobile app in useDetermine if the environment contains a SOOIL Diabecare RS insulin pump or an AnyDana-i/AnyDana-A mobile application. Check device inventory or physically inspect the pump and connected mobile apps.Affected if Any of these three products (Diabecare RS, AnyDana-i, or AnyDana-A) are present in the environment.
-
Check the installed firmware versionAccess the device settings on the insulin pump or check the mobile app version information in the app store or device settings. Compare the version number to the affected range.Affected if The firmware version is below 3.0 for any of the affected products.
-
Verify Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity statusCheck if BLE is enabled on the insulin pump or the paired mobile device. This can typically be done through device settings or by observing active BLE connections.Affected if Bluetooth Low Energy is turned on and actively broadcasting or accepting connections.
-
Confirm PIN authentication configurationInspect whether a PIN is configured on the pump or mobile app. Navigate to security or lock settings within the device or application interface.Affected if A PIN is set or the device relies on PIN-based authentication for access control.
The environment is affected if a SOOIL Diabecare RS pump or AnyDana mobile app with firmware version below 3.0 has Bluetooth Low Energy enabled, regardless of PIN configuration status.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor data3.0
Immediate remediation requires obtaining and deploying vendor-supplied firmware updates for the insulin pump and updated mobile applications. Organizations should also ensure default PINs are changed and implement physical access controls to limit BLE exposure in clinical settings.
