Recognize that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also, understand that VPNs are only as secure as the connected devices.", "title": "General security recommendations" }, { "category": "other", "text": "ABB has a rigorous internal cyber security continuous improvement process which involves regular testing with industry leading tools and periodic assessments to identify potential product issues. Occasionally an issue is determined to be a design or coding flaw with implications that may impact product cyber security.\n\nWhen a potential product vulnerability is identified or reported, ABB immediately initiates our vulnerability handling process. This entails validating if the issue is in fact a product issue, identifying root causes, determining what related products may be impacted, developing a remediation, and notifying end users and governmental organizations.\n\nThe resulting Cyber Security Advisory intends to notify customers of the vulnerability and provide details on which products are impacted, how to mitigate the vulnerability or explain workarounds that minimize the potential risk as much as possible. The release of a Cyber Security Advisory should not be misconstrued as an affirmation or indication of an active threat or ongoing campaign targeting the products mentioned here. If ABB is aware of any specific threats, it will be clearly mentioned in the communication.\n\nThe publication of this Cyber Security Advisory is an example of ABB\u2019s commitment to the user community in support of this critical topic. Responsible disclosure is an important element in the chain of trust we work to maintain with our many customers. The release of an Advisory provides timely information which is essential to help ensure our customers are fully informed.", "title": "Purpose" }, { "category": "faq", "text": "What causes the vulnerability?\n- Refer to section \u201cVulnerability severity and details\u201c.\n\nWhat is AC500 V3?\n- The AC500 V3 is a scalable range of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). It provides solutions for small, medium and high-end applications. The AC500 V3 platform offers different performance levels and is the ideal choice for high availability, extreme environments, condition monitoring, motion control or safety solutions. It offers interoperability and compatibility in hardware and software from compact PLCs up to high end and safety PLCs.\n\nWhat might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?\n- An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could bypass the user management and read visualization files (CVE-2025-2595), read and write certificates and keys (CVE-2025-41659) or cause a denial-of-service (DoS) (CVE-2025-41691).\n\nHow could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?\n- Refer to section \u201cVulnerability severity and details\u201c.\n\nCould the vulnerability be exploited remotely?\n- Yes, an attacker who has network access to an affected system node could exploit the vulnerabilities. Recommended practices include that process control systems are physically protected, have no direct connections to the Internet, and are separated from other networks by means of a firewall system that has a minimal number of ports exposed.\n\nWhen this security advisory was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed?\n- Yes, the vulnerabilities have been publicly disclosed.\n\nWhen this security advisory was issued, had ABB received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?\n- No, ABB had not received any information indicating that this vulnerability had been exploited when this security advisory was originally issued.", "title": "Frequently Asked Questions" }, { "category": "legal_disclaimer", "text": "This product is provided subject to this Notification (https://www.cisa.gov/notification) and this Privacy & Use policy (https://www.cisa.gov/privacy-policy).", "title": "Legal Notice and Terms of Use" }, { "category": "other", "text": "This ICSA is a verbatim republication of ABB PSIRT 3ADR011524 from a direct conversion of the vendor's Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) advisory.
