CVE-2024-51550Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via unsanitized BBMD parameters

Published Dec 5, 2024 · Updated Dec 5, 2024

Improper input validation in ABB ASPECT products through 3.08.02 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted requests. The bbmdUpdate.php handler writes POST parameters such as hexMask values without sanitizing shell metacharacters, allowing injected commands to reach the operating system. The published proof of concept supplies a session cookie, while ABB's scoring treats the flaw as unauthenticated; exposure requires network access to a misconfigured device.
