01

What, why and how

Specific BD Pyxis™ products were installed with default credentials and may presently still operate with these credentials. There may be scenarios where BD Pyxis™ products are installed with the same default local operating system credentials or domain-joined server(s) credentials that may be shared across product types. If exploited, threat actors may be able to gain privileged access to the underlying file system and could potentially exploit or gain access to ePHI or other sensitive information.

What

Specific BD Pyxis™ products were installed with default credentials and may presently still operate with these credentials. There may be scenarios where BD Pyxis™ products are installed with the same default local operating system credentials or domain-joined server(s) credentials that may be shared across product types. If exploited, threat actors may be able to gain privileged access to the underlying file system and could potentially exploit or gain access to ePHI or other sensitive information.

Why

The product does not have a mechanism in place for managing password aging.

How

An attacker operating through an adjacent network may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may obtain information outside the intended access boundary.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-262

CWE-262: Not Using Password Aging. The product does not have a mechanism in place for managing password aging.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

Fixed
BD is currently strengthening our credential management capabilities in BD Pyxis™ products. Service personnel are proactively working with customers whose domain-joined server(s) credentials require updates. BD is currently piloting a credential management solution that is initially targeted for only specific BD Pyxis™ product versions and will allow for improved authentication management practices with specific local operating system credentials. Changes needed for installation, upgrade or to applications are being evaluated as part of the overall remediation.
Action
Review the linked authoritative reference and apply the recorded fixed release appropriate to the affected product branch.
Workaround
No verified workaround is recorded. Limit untrusted access and use least privilege until authoritative guidance is available.
