Weak Authentication in Symphony Plus

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.

Improper Authorization in Symphony Plus

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.

SQL Injection in Symphony Plus

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.

ABB Base Software for SoftControl Remote Code Execution vulnerability

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.

RVD#3327: No authentication required for accesing ABB IRC5 FTP server

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.

RVD#3326: Hardcoded default credentials on IRC 5 OPC Server

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/restart. A GET request to /cgi/loginDefaultUser may result in "1 #S_OK IDALToken=532c8632b86694f0232a68a0897a145c admin admin" or a similar response.

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. There is no option to disable or change these undocumented credentials. An attacker can use these credentials to login to ABB HMI to read/write HMI configuration files and also to reset the device. This affects ABB CP635 HMI, CP600 HMIClient, Panel Builder 600, IDAL FTP server, IDAL HTTP server, and multiple other HMI components.

ABB/Busch-Jaeger Telephone Gateway TG/S 3.2 Information Exposure

The Configuration pages in ABB Telephone Gateway TG/S 3.2 and Busch-Jaeger 6186/11 Telefon-Gateway for user profiles and services transfer the password in plaintext (although hidden when displayed).

ABB/Busch-Jaeger Telephone Gateway TG/S 3.2 Access Control issues

Improper implementation of Access Control in ABB Telephone Gateway TG/S 3.2 and Busch-Jaeger 6186/11 Telefon-Gateway allows an unauthorized user to access data marked as restricted, such as viewing or editing user profiles and application settings.

ABB/Busch-Jaeger Telephone Gateway TG/S 3.2 Plaintext storing of credentials

The backup function in ABB Telephone Gateway TG/S 3.2 and Busch-Jaeger 6186/11 Telefon-Gateway saves the current settings and configuration of the application, including credentials of existing user accounts and other configuration's credentials in plaintext.

ABB/Busch-Jaeger Telephone Gateway TG/S 3.2 Improper Authentication and Access Control

The web server in ABB Telephone Gateway TG/S 3.2 and Busch-Jaeger 6186/11 Telefon-Gateway allows access to different endpoints of the application without authenticating by accessing a specific uniform resource locator (URL) , violating the access-control (ACL) rules. This issue allows obtaining sensitive information that may aid in further attacks and privilege escalation.

PB610 HMISimulator provides interface with access to arbitrary files

The HMISimulator component of ABB PB610 Panel Builder 600 uses the readFile/writeFile interface to manipulate the work file. Path configuration in PB610 HMISimulator versions 2.8.0.424 and earlier potentially allows access to files outside of the working directory, thus potentially supporting unauthorized file access.
