These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. Exploits that target these vulnerabilities are known to be publicly available.
AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following AMTELCO products are affected:
- miSecureMessages, Version 6.2 (to include Android, iPhone, and Blackberry mobile device applications).
IMPACT
The MSMs Release 6.2 web service may be susceptible to intrusion, allowing an intruder to receive messages intended for MSM users.
Impact to individual organizations and users depends on many factors that are unique to each organization and user. NCCIC/ICS-CERT recommends that organizations and users evaluate the impact of these vulnerabilities based on their operational environment, architecture, and product implementation.
BACKGROUND
AMTELCO is a US-based company that provides call center communication systems and software applications for call centers, contact centers, healthcare facilities, higher education facilities, executive suites, and developers. In addition to call center systems, AMTELCO offers web-based hosted services and other wireless applications.

VULNERABILITY CHARACTERIZATION
VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
INFORMATION EXPOSUREa
MSM does not have sufficient session management to prevent modification of message requests. This could allow a valid user to retrieve sensitive message contents and exposing personally identifiable information of other users.
CVE-2014-2347b has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v2 base score of 7 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:P/A:N).c
AUTHENTICATIONd
MSM does not contain sufficient authentication complexity that may allow an attacker to receive message traffic between healthcare providers and patients, potentially exposing personally identifiable information.
CVE-2014-0357e has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v2 base score of 7 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:P/A:N).f
VULNERABILITY DETAILS
EXPLOITABILITY
These vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely.
EXISTENCE OF EXPLOIT
Exploits that target these vulnerabilities are publicly available.
DIFFICULTY
Crafting a working exploit for these vulnerabilities would need a moderate skill level. An amount of session modification is required to exploit these vulnerabilities. This decreases the likelihood of a successful exploit.
MITIGATION
AMTELCO has developed an update, Version 6.3, that resolves these vulnerabilities.
