NOTE: the vendor has disputed the severity of this issue, saying \"we believe the risk of deliberate, malicious, or unauthorized manipulation of medical devices is extremely low... we strongly believe it would be extremely difficult for a third-party to wirelessly tamper with your insulin pump... you would be able to detect tones on the insulin pump that weren't intentionally programmed and could intervene accordingly.\"","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["http://sixuntilme.com/blog2/2011/08/hacked_jay_radcliffe_insulin_p.html","http://www.darkreading.com/security/vulnerabilities/231300312/getting-root-on-the-human-body.html","http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/08/04/insulin-pumps-vulnerable-to-hacking/?test=faces","http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HackersCanKillDiabeticsWithInsulinPumpsFromAHalfMileAwayUmNoFactsVsJournalisticFearMongering.aspx","http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/vulnerabilities/231600265"],"products":["medtronic:paradigm_wireless_insulin_pump"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T19:58:50.521460154+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2011-3386","score":0.0145,"percentile":0.73367,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
