CVE-2022-47376
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 · uneditedThe Alaris Infusion Central software, versions 1.1 to 1.3.2, may contain a recoverable password after the installation. No patient health data is stored in the database, although some site installations may choose to store personal data.
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 confidenceThe Alaris Infusion Central software versions 1.1 through 1.3.2 contains a recoverable password vulnerability where credentials are stored in a reversible format after installation rather than being properly hashed or encrypted. This allows attackers who gain database or filesystem access to retrieve plaintext credentials.

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 installed version of Alaris Infusion CentralLocate the software installation directory or use system inventory tools to find the installed version number of Alaris Infusion Central. Check program files, installation logs, or the software itself for the version display.Affected if The installed version is >= 1.1 and <= 1.3.2, placing it within the affected range.
-
Locate database files used by Alaris Infusion CentralSearch for database files associated with the application, typically in the installation directory or data folders. Common database formats include .mdb, .accdb, .db, or .sql files. Identify the primary data storage location.Affected if Database files exist and the application stores user credentials within them.
-
Inspect stored credentials for encryption formatOpen or query the database files to examine how credentials are stored. Look for password fields and determine if the values appear as plaintext, encoded, or reversibly encrypted rather than being stored as salted hashes.Affected if Credentials in the database or config files are stored in plaintext, Base64-encoded, or using reversible encryption rather than being hashed with a one-way function.
-
Check configuration files for credential storage settingsExamine configuration files within the Alaris Infusion Central installation directory for settings related to credential storage, encryption keys, or password handling. Look for files with .config, .xml, .ini, or similar extensions.Affected if Configuration files contain encryption keys, credential storage parameters, or references to reversible encryption methods for passwords.
-
Verify credential hashing implementationIf you have access to the backend, inspect the authentication module or code that handles password storage to confirm whether a proper hashing algorithm (such as bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2) is used versus a reversible method.Affected if The software uses reversible encryption or encoding for password storage instead of industry-standard one-way hashing.
A user is affected if Alaris Infusion Central version 1.1 through 1.3.2 is installed and credentials are stored in a reversible format in database or configuration files rather than being properly hashed.

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 dataOrganizations should update to a patched version of Alaris Infusion Central and immediately rotate any credentials that may have been exposed. Review installation documentation for vendor-provided password reset or migration tools.
