Applied Biosystems 3500 3500Xl Series Data Collection Software
Monthly
Integrity tampering in Thermo Fisher Applied Biosystems Genetic Analyzers allows any user with local file system access to silently modify .fsa and .hid output files - the raw DNA sequence and fragment analysis data produced by these instruments - because no cryptographic integrity check (CWE-353) is applied to these files. Affected products span eight distinct data collection and analysis software lines, including the forensic-grade GeneMapper ID-X platform, meaning tampered files could propagate falsified DNA profiles into criminal proceedings or clinical diagnostics without detection. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is covered by CISA ICS Medical Advisory ICSMA-26-216-01.
