Summary
ABB is aware of vulnerabilities in the product versions listed as affected in the advisory.
The vulnerability enables unauthorized access to the Reboot OS function within the Remote Transport Service, allowing an attacker to trigger a system reboot without the required authentication. This functionality initiates a system reboot on the target machine. However, remote exploitation of this vulnerability is not feasible unless the attacker has already gained access to the network where the affected ABB Ability Zenon system is deployed.
At the time of writing, there is no evidence that this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
