Dentrix vulnerabilities
When Dentrix G5 was released to the market, the client and server was vulnerable to packet sniffing. If someone finds the password to their site, then they would know the password to all sites. This was fixed in G5 PP1 HotFix 1. Now the password is randomly generated.
Dentrix G6 uses Data Camouflage. From US-CERT.GOV, "Faircom c-treeACE provides a weak obfuscation algorithm (CWE-327) that may be unobfuscated without knowledge of a key or password. The algorithm was formerly called Faircom Standard Encryption but is now called Data Camouflage."
Dentrix G6 uses Hard Coded Credentials.
Federal Trade Commission Fine
In 2016, The Federal Trade Commission reported that Henry Schein, the provider and distributor of Dentrix, will be forced to pay $250,000 to settle Federal Trade Commission charges it falsely advertised the level of encryption it provided to protect patient data in the software Dentrix G5.
