A directory traversal bug has been found in a Miele dishwasher. This allows access to arbitrary files on the dishwasher's Web server from unauthenticated users. It has been questioned whether appliance makers should be the ones connecting things to networks, since their lack of experience means there isn't even an official channel to report or fix security bugs. Miele are yet to comment.

Hospitals. Everything needs to be logged.
In a properly functioning organisation procurement should have assessed it's security and not approved purchase.
We're a long way from that universe...
