NHS England has identified a medium-severity service vulnerability affecting all previous versions of the NHS Identity Agent, including v2.4.6.0. This software is developed and maintained by the NHS and is used by many pharmacies to facilitate smartcard authentication. To mitigate this issue, NHS England requires all organisations to upgrade to NHS Identity Agent v2.4.10.0 by 12 October 2025. Earlier versions have now been formally retired. While this vulnerability does not affect Titan PMR systems directly, we are supporting the NHS England request by encouraging all customers to complete the upgrade as soon as possible to ensure continued access and compliance.
