Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions St. Jude Medical Merlin@home versions prior to 8.2.2

Description An issue was discovered where the identities of the endpoints for the communication channel between the transmitter and St. Jude Medical's web site, Merlin.net, are not verified. This may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to access or influence communications between the identified endpoints.

Recommendations For versions prior to 8.2.2, update to version 8.2.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing additional verification measures for the communication channel between the transmitter and Merlin.net to minimize the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks. Restrict access to the communication channel to trusted endpoints only.
