IlluminaCVEs & Vulnerabilities

Instruments with Illumina Universal Copy Service v2.x are vulnerable due to binding to an unrestricted IP address. An unauthenticated malicious actor could use UCS to listen on all IP addresses, including those capable of accepting remote communications.

Instruments with Illumina Universal Copy Service v1.x and v2.x contain an unnecessary privileges vulnerability. An unauthenticated malicious actor could upload and execute code remotely at the operating system level, which could allow an attacker to change settings, configurations, software, or access sensitive data on the affected product.

LRM version 2.4 and lower does not implement TLS encryption. A malicious actor can MITM attack sensitive data in-transit, including credentials.

LRM does not implement authentication or authorization by default. A malicious actor can inject, replay, modify, and/or intercept sensitive data.

LRM does not restrict the types of files that can be uploaded to the affected product. A malicious actor can upload any file type, including executable code that allows for a remote code exploit.

LRM contains a directory traversal vulnerability that can allow a malicious actor to upload outside the intended directory structure.

LRM utilizes elevated privileges. An unauthenticated malicious actor can upload and execute code remotely at the operating system level, which can allow an attacker to change settings, configurations, software, or access sensitive data on the affected produc. An attacker could also exploit this vulnerability to access APIs not intended for general use and interact through the network.
