CVE-2024-4007Network attack vector

Unauthenticated database read/write via default credentials

Published Jul 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Default credentials in ABB ASPECT 3.07 allow remote attackers to obtain read/write access to the internal SQL database. The installer contains a public phpMyAdmin password, and commissioning fails to require its replacement. Exploitation requires unchanged credentials plus an Internet-exposed, un-firewalled instance, enabling configuration and collected-data changes.
