Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the wireless RF (radio frequency) communication protocol does not properly implement authentication or authorization.  An attacker with adjacent access to one of the affected products can intercept, modify, or interfere with the wireless RF (radio frequency) communications to or from the product. This may allow attackers to read sensitive data, change pump settings, or control insulin delivery.
