1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
o CVSS v3 10.0
o ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low attack complexity
o Vendor: Illumina
o Equipment: Local Run Manager (LRM)
o Vulnerabilities: Path Traversal, Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous
Type, Improper Access Control, Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive
Information
2. RISK EVALUATION
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow an unauthenticated
malicious actor to take control of the affected product remotely and take any
action at the operating system level. An attacker could impact settings,
configurations, software, or data on the affected product and interact through
the affected product with the connected network..
3. TECHNICAL DETAILS
3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following devices and instruments using LRM software are affected:
Illumina In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices:
o NextSeq 550Dx: LRM Versions 1.3 to 3.1
o MiSeq Dx: LRM Versions 1.3 to 3.1
Researcher Use Only (ROU) instruments:
o NextSeq 500 Instrument: LRM Versions 1.3 to 3.1
o NextSeq 550 Instrument: LRM Versions 1.3 to 3.1
o MiSeq Instrument: LRM Versions 1.3 to 3.1
o iSeq 100 Instrument: LRM Versions 1.3 to 3.1
o MiniSeq Instrument: LRM Versions 1.3 to 3.1
3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
3.2.1 EXECUTION WITH UNNECESSARY PRIVILEGES CWE-250
LRM utilizes elevated privileges. An unauthenticated malicious actor can upload
and execute code remotely at the operating system level, which can allow an
attacker to change settings, configurations, software, or access sensitive data
on the affected produc. An attacker could also exploit this vulnerability to
access APIs not intended for general use and interact through the network..
CVE-2022-1517 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
10.0 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.2 IMPROPER LIMITATION OF A PATHNAME TO A RESTRICTED DIRECTORY ('PATH
TRAVERSAL') CWE-22
LRM contains a directory traversal vulnerability that can allow a malicious
actor to upload outside the intended directory structure.
CVE-2022-1518 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
10.0 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.3 UNRESTRICTED UPLOAD OF FILE WITH DANGEROUS TYPE CWE-434
LRM does not restrict the types of files that can be uploaded to the affected
product. A malicious actor can upload any file type, including executable code
that allows for a remote code exploit..
CVE-2022-1519 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
10.0 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.4 IMPROPER ACCESS CONTROL CWE-284
LRM does not implement authentication or authorization by default. A malicious
actor can inject, replay, modify, and/or intercept sensitive data.
CVE-2022-1521 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:N ).
3.2.5 CLEARTEXT TRANSMISSION OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION CWE-319
LRM version 2.4 and lower does not implement TLS encryption. A malicious actor
can MITM attack sensitive data in-transit, including credentials..
CVE-2022-1524 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:N ).

3.4 RESEARCHER
Pentest, Ltd., (pentest.co.uk) reported these vulnerabilities to Illumina.
Illumina reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
4. MITIGATIONS
Illumina has developed a software patch to protect against the remote
exploitation of these vulnerabilities and is actively working to provide a
permanent software fix for current and future instruments.
For instruments connected to the Internet, the software patch is available for
download .
For affected products not connected to the Internet, Illumina has developed
other options for the installation of the software patch. Please contact
Illumina Tech Support at techsupport@illumina.com to obtain information about
these options.
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
o Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems,
and ensure they are not accessible from the Internet .
o Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and
isolate them from the business network.
o When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be
updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only
as secure as its connected devices.
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices
on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics Several recommended practices are available
for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems
Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies .
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available
on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics in the Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies .
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking
and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
