The installations for ABB System 800xA Information Manager versions 5.1, 6.0 to 6.0.3.2 and 6.1 wrongly contain an auxiliary component. An attacker is able to use this for an XSS-like attack to an authenticated local user, which might lead to execution of arbitrary code.

Weak Registry permissions in ABB System 800xA Base allow low privileged users to read and modify registry settings related to control system functionality, allowing an authenticated attacker to cause system functions to stop or malfunction.

Insufficient folder permissions used by system functions in ABB System 800xA Base (version 6.1 and earlier) allow low privileged users to read, modify, add and delete system and application files.

The vulnerabilities can be exploited to cause the web visualization component of the PLC to stop and not respond, leading to genuine users losing remote visibility of the PLC state. If a user attempts to login to the PLC while this vulnerability is exploited, the PLC will show an error state and refuse connections to Automation Builder. The execution of the PLC application is not affected by this vulnerability. This issue affects ABB AC500 V2 products with onboard Ethernet.

An unauthenticated specially crafted packet sent by an attacker over the network will cause a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability. Vulnerability allows attacker to stop the PLC. After stopping (ERR LED flashing red), physical access to the PLC is required in order to restart the application. This issue affects: ABB AC500 V2 products with onboard Ethernet version 2.8.4 and prior versions.

The affected versions of S+ Operations (version 2.1 SP1 and earlier) used an approach for user authentication which relies on validation at the client node (client-side authentication). This is not as secure as having the server validate a client application before allowing a connection. Therefore, if the network communication or endpoints for these applications are not protected, unauthorized actors can bypass authentication and make unauthorized connections to the server application.

In S+ Operations and S+ Historian, the passwords of internal users (not Windows Users) are encrypted but improperly stored in a database.

A S+ Operations and S+ Historian service is subject to a DoS by special crafted messages. An attacker might use this flaw to make it crash or even execute arbitrary code on the machine where the service is hosted.

An authenticated user might execute malicious code under the user context and take control of the system. S+ Operations or S+ Historian database is affected by multiple vulnerabilities such as the possibility to allow remote authenticated users to gain high privileges.

Vulnerabilities in the S+ Operations and S+ Historian web applications can lead to a possible code execution and privilege escalation, redirect the user somewhere else or download unwanted data.

In Symphony Plus Operations and Symphony Plus Historian, some services can be vulnerable to privilege escalation attacks. An unprivileged (but authenticated) user could execute arbitrary code and result in privilege escalation, depending on the user that the service runs as.

In S+ Operations and S+ History, it is possible that an unauthenticated user could inject values to the Operations History server (or standalone S+ History server) and ultimately write values to the controlled process.

In S+ Operations and S+ Historian, not all client commands correctly check user permission as expected. Authenticated but Unauthorized remote users could execute a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, execute arbitrary code, or obtain more privilege than intended on the machines.

In S+ Operations and S+ Historian, a successful SQL injection exploit can read sensitive data from the database, modify database data (Insert/Update/Delete), execute administration operations on the database (such as shutdown the DBMS), recover the content of a given file present on the DBMS file system and in some cases issue commands to the operating system. This can lead to a loss of confidentiality and data integrity or even affect the product behavior and its availability.

A vulnerability in Base Software for SoftControl allows an attacker to insert and run arbitrary code in a computer running the affected product. This issue affects: .

UPS Adapter CS141 before 1.90 allows Directory Traversal. An attacker with Admin or Engineer login credentials could exploit the vulnerability by manipulating variables that reference files and by doing this achieve access to files and directories outside the web root folder. An attacker may access arbitrary files and directories stored in the file system, but integrity of the files are not jeopardized as attacker have read access rights only.

IRC5 exposes an ftp server (port 21). Upon attempting to gain access you are challenged with a request of username and password, however you can input whatever you like. As long as the field isn't empty it will be accepted.

The IRC5 family with UAS service enabled comes by default with credentials that can be found on publicly available manuals. ABB considers this a well documented functionality that helps customer set up however, out of our research, we found multiple production systems running these exact default credentials and consider thereby this an exposure that should be mitigated. Moreover, future deployments should consider that these defaults should be forbidden (user should be forced to change them).

The ABB IDAL HTTP server is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when a long Host header is sent in a web request. The Host header value overflows a buffer and overwrites a Structured Exception Handler (SEH) address. An unauthenticated attacker can submit a Host header value of 2047 bytes or more to overflow the buffer and overwrite the SEH address, which can then be leveraged to execute attacker-controlled code on the server.

The ABB IDAL FTP server is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when a long string is sent by an authenticated attacker. This overflow is handled, but terminates the process. An authenticated attacker can send a FTP command string of 472 bytes or more to overflow a buffer, causing an exception that terminates the server.

The ABB IDAL FTP server mishandles format strings in a username during the authentication process. Attempting to authenticate with the username %s%p%x%d will crash the server. Sending %08x.AAAA.%08x.%08x will log memory content from the stack.

The ABB CP635 HMI uses two different transmission methods to upgrade its firmware and its software components: "Utilization of USB/SD Card to flash the device" and "Remote provisioning process via ABB Panel Builder 600 over FTP." Neither of these transmission methods implements any form of encryption or authenticity checks against the new firmware HMI software binary files.

The ABB IDAL HTTP server mishandles format strings in a username or cookie during the authentication process. Attempting to authenticate with the username %25s%25p%25x%25n will crash the server. Sending %08x.AAAA.%08x.%08x will log memory content from the stack.

In the ABB IDAL FTP server, an authenticated attacker can traverse to arbitrary directories on the hard disk with "CWD ../" and then use the FTP server functionality to download and upload files. An unauthenticated attacker can take advantage of the hardcoded or default credential pair exor/exor to become an authenticated attacker.

The ABB IDAL HTTP server CGI interface contains a URL that allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication and gain access to privileged functions. Specifically, /cgi/loginDefaultUser creates a session in an authenticated state and returns the session ID along with what may be the username and cleartext password of the user. An attacker can then supply an IDALToken value in a cookie, which will allow them to perform privileged operations such as restarting the service with /cgi/resta ...

The ABB HMI components implement hidden administrative accounts that are used during the provisioning phase of the HMI interface. These credentials allow the provisioning tool "Panel Builder 600" to flash a new interface and Tags (MODBUS coils) mapping to the HMI. These credentials are the idal123 password for the IdalMaster account, and the exor password for the exor account. These credentials are used over both HTTP(S) and FTP.
