The vendor explicitly identifies these products as affected by this CVE.

  • ANC Version <=1.1.4
  • ANC-L version <=1.1.4
  • ANC-mini version <=1.1.4
Summary
A non-administrative user could gain access to an admin page where they could perform all actions which should be restricted only to an admin user. The vulnerability was due to improper validation in the web HMI server. This problem is resolved in software version 1.1.5, apply the update at earliest convenience.
Remediation
All web HMI related problems (CVE-2024-47784, CVE-2024-9876, CVE-2024-9877) are corrected in the product version 1.1.5. ABB recommends that customers apply the update at earliest convenience. The process to identify the installed product version and process to install updates is described in the user manual.

What, why and how

: Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data (MAID) vulnerability in ABB ANC, ABB ANC-L, ABB ANC-mini.This issue affects ANC: through 1.1.4; ANC-L: through 1.1.4; ANC-mini: through 1.1.4.

What

: Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data (MAID) vulnerability in ABB ANC, ABB ANC-L, ABB ANC-mini.This issue affects ANC: through 1.1.4; ANC-L: through 1.1.4; ANC-mini: through 1.1.4.

Why

The product does not properly protect an assumed-immutable element from being modified by an attacker.

How

An attacker operating through an adjacent network may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
an adjacent network → Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data (MAID) → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
