Patch information

Due to the nature of the classic KNX protocol stack and security concept, there are no options to resolve the vulnerability with a software update on a technical level. ABB recommends to follow general security recommendations listed in the security guideline (see References and General security recommendations). In addition, it shall be avoided to control sensitive functionality by legacy KNX devices such as, but not limited to, access control to e.g. hotel rooms or other protected areas. Note: Legacy KNX standards were never designed to meet state of the art security standards like introduced with KNX Data Secure published in 2017.

IACS Radar priority score

42/ 100

Based on CVSS 6.4, EPSS 0.2%, industrial relevance 55/100.

Combines CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, industrial relevance and exposure relevance — a complement to, not a replacement for, the individual scores below and above.

Conditions for exploitation

•Network access to the affected device or segment is required.
•Limited user privileges are required.
•No user interaction required.

Operational impact & energy relevance

Possible loss of visibility of or control over the process upon successful exploitation.

Assessed as relevant to the energy sector based on: Vermeld in een officiële CISA ICS Advisory, wat directe relevantie voor industriële besturingssystemen bevestigt. Vendor "ABB" is a known supplier of equipment for the energy sector.

Recommended defensive measures

•Apply the latest firmware or software update and validate its integrity.
•Restrict network access to the affected device to a dedicated OT management segment.
•Implement network segmentation in line with zones and conduits (IEC 62443-3-2).
•Monitor for abnormal protocol traffic using an OT-aware detection system.

Industrial relevance score

55/ 100

• Mentioned in an official CISA ICS advisory, which confirms direct relevance to industrial control systems.
• Vendor "ABB" is a known supplier of equipment for the energy sector.

Classification is provisional; manual verification by an OT security analyst is recommended.
