ICS Advisories

Risk evaluation

ABB is aware of public reports of a vulnerability in the product listed as affected in the advisory. An update has been deployed to the cloud system that resolves a publicly reported vulnerability in the product versions listed above. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take remote control of the product. The vulnerability has been identified in the keycloak authentication component which is integrated into dynovaPRO™. The vulnerability exists in the 'Forgot Password' functionality and allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and hijack user accounts. Users who have received a password reset mail before the mentioned date, without having requested it, are thereby potentially attacked by exploiting this vulnerability. ABB investigated potentially malicious user reset activities and blocked those user access immediately to reduce the exploitation risk. The credentials of those users have been deleted after the software fix was deployed and the users were informed that they must reset their password to gain access to dynovaPRO™ again.

Mitigation summary

The following conditions reduce the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability: - Limited Attack Surface: The vulnerability is specific to the password reset functionality. Other authentication methods are not affected. - Email Notifications: Legitimate users receive email notifications during password reset attempts, which may alert them to unauthorized access attempts. Refer to section “General security recommendations” for further advise on how to keep your system secure.
