Account compromise via weak password-reset rules
Published Dec 5, 2024 · Updated Dec 5, 2024
Weak password requirements in ABB ASPECT 3.07.02 and earlier allow remote attackers to retain weak passwords after account resets. ABB has not published the reset handler or the exact validation checks it omits; the reset workflow accepts passwords below the intended strength. Reachability requires network access to an ASPECT interface, and weak administrative credentials enable unauthorized administrative or application access.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <=3.07.02
- Affected versionversion=0 <=3.08.01
