MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires that the CGM CLININET rsyncd daemon be network-reachable and configured to authorize clients solely by source IP address (host-based allow list) with no secrets/password authentication. The attacker must know or discover an allowed IP and must be able to spoof it against a TCP service - i.e. hold an on-path position or otherwise inject packets that survive the TCP handshake, which bounds realistic attacks to adversaries with network positioning rather than arbitrary internet hosts. Confirmed affected through version 2026.MS3, with later versions possibly affected; no special user interaction or prior authentication is needed once an allowed IP can be spoofed. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and some are absent. The CVSS 4.0 base vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) rates this network-reachable, low-complexity and unauthenticated, with high integrity impact (VI:H) and high availability impact (VA:H) on the vulnerable system, yielding 8.8 - genuinely severe on paper. However, the mechanism (CWE-290 authentication bypass via source-IP spoofing of a TCP-based rsyncd service) materially qualifies that 'low complexity' rating: blind spoofing of an allowed source IP across a TCP three-way handshake requires on-path positioning or sequence-number prediction, which in practice raises real-world attack complexity above what AC:L/AT:N implies - verify the network exposure before treating this as trivially remote. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no SSVC exploitation/automatable values were supplied, and no PoC or exploit reference is present, so there is no evidence of active or automated exploitation. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' (not act_now/emergency), consistent with a serious-but-not-actively-exploited finding. Net: a high-severity integrity/availability flaw in a healthcare product that warrants prompt remediation this week, but there is no current signal of mass or automated exploitation, and the IP-spoofing precondition likely confines realistic attacks to adversaries with network positioning. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with the ability to inject spoofed TCP traffic (on-path or within the hospital network) identifies a source IP that the CLININET rsyncd daemon trusts, impersonates that address to satisfy the source-IP access check, and thereby gains unauthorized write access to edit files on the affected system. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; because rsyncd runs over TCP, realistic exploitation requires on-path interception or packet-injection capability rather than a simple remote request. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 23, 2026
Authentication bypass in the CGM CLININET rsyncd service allows an attacker who can spoof an allow-listed source IP address to reach rsync modules without credentials and edit files on the affected host. The flaw is confirmed in versions through 2026.MS3, with later releases potentially affected, and is only reachable where the rsyncd daemon is network-exposed and configured to authorize clients by source IP alone. No public exploit code or active exploitation is identified at time of analysis; the independent assessment keeps a high severity rating but raises attack complexity because the spoofing must succeed against a TCP service, implying an on-path or packet-injection position rather than arbitrary internet access.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the available advisory data; monitor the CERT-PL post at https://cert.pl/en/posts/2026/10/CVE-2025-30043/ and the CGM CLININET product page for a corrected release. In the interim, stop or disable the rsyncd service on hosts where rsync-based synchronization is not strictly required (trade-off: loss of that file-transfer workflow), and replace IP-only authorization with rsync 'auth users' and a secrets file so that spoofing an allowed source address is no longer sufficient (trade-off: credential distribution and rotation overhead). Restrict TCP access to the rsyncd port (default 873) through network firewalls or segmentation limited to known backup hosts and management networks, and apply ingress filtering such as BCP38 or unicast reverse-path forwarding at network boundaries to reduce source-address spoofing (trade-offs: firewall changes can interrupt legitimate backup jobs, and strict uRPF can drop traffic on asymmetric paths). The vuln.today decision label marks this as a this-week priority, so audit rsyncd configuration and reachability across all CLININET deployments accordingly.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CGM CLININET is a hospital information system whose rsyncd service exposes rsync daemon modules for file transfer. Access control is implemented as a host-based allow list that trusts the client's source IP address and performs no secret-based authentication of its own; this is the classic CWE-290 pattern of authentication bypass by spoofing, where an attacker who presents a trusted address is treated as a legitimate peer. Because rsync daemon modules without an 'auth users' configuration rely on address-based authorization, spoofing an allowed IP yields file-editing capability on the affected system. The independent assessment notes that source-IP spoofing against a TCP service requires an on-path or packet-injection position to complete the handshake, which is reflected in AC:H; the supplied sources do not describe further trigger mechanics. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:cgm:cgm_clininet:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions, with confirmation through 2026.MS3 and possible impact on later releases.

DescriptionCVE.org
The rsyncd service of the CGM CLININET is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via IP spoofing. Access is granted based solely on the client's source IP address. An attacker able to spoof an allowed IP address, can bypass this check and gain the ability to edit files on the affected system.
The vulnerability was confirmed to affect versions up to 2026.MS3 but later versions may also be vulnerable.
Executive ViewAI
CGM CLININET, a clinical information system used in healthcare settings, contains an authentication bypass in its rsyncd file synchronization service that could allow an attacker to modify files without valid credentials. The flaw requires a network position enabling source IP spoofing, but if successfully exploited, it could compromise the integrity of clinical data or system configurations, potentially disrupting patient care and exposing sensitive information. Leadership should prioritize this due to the healthcare context and the risk of data manipulation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting network access to rsyncd to trusted IPs, enabling rsync authentication with secrets, implementing network segmentation, and monitoring for suspicious activity.
