Published severityMediumOperational priority:Low, lowered one band.downgradedsince 23 Jun 2026

Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • Exploitation requires an existing local or physical foothold with privileges.
  • EPSS is 0.12% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs ABB Control Builder A and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: No default targetRemediation target: Normal maintenance

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

5 known affected

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

  • ABB Control Builder A <=1.4/4
  • ABB 800xA for Advant Master <=6.0.3-1
  • ABB 800xA for Advant Master <=6.1.1-1
  • ABB 800xA for Advant Master 6.1.1-3
  • ABB 800xA for Advant Master 6.2.0-1
Summary
The application improperly handles the search path for loading DLL´s, potentially allowing unauthorized libraries from untrusted directories. An attacker who obtains the necessary access could exploit the vulnerability leading to unauthorized code execution and compromising system integrity.
Remediation
ABB has investigated the vulnerability and remediated it in the newly released versions. The vulnerability has been resolved in the product versions listed as fixed in the advisory. - Version 6.1.1-2 does not contain this vulnerability and therefore no update is required. The vulnerability was again introduced in 6.1.1-3 when an older ONB version was included in the release media. - Version 6.1.1-4 do not contain this vulnerability but present version 6.1.1-3 by 800xA System Installer and System Configuration Console (SCC). Version 6.1.1-4 is therefore withdrawn. - Version 6.2.0-2 do not contain this vulnerability but present version 6.2.0-1 by 800xA System Installer and System Configuration Console (SCC). Version 6.2.0-2 is therefore withdrawn. ABB recommends that customers apply the update at their earliest convenience. - Control Builder A: It is recommended to update Control Builder A to version 1.4/5 or later. - 800xA for Advant Master: - Versions 6.0.3-1 and earlier, - Versions 6.1.1-1 and earlier, - Versions 6.1.1-2, 6.1.1-3, and 6.1.1-4 should be updated to version 6.1.1-5 or later. - 800xA for Advant Master: - Versions 6.2.0-1 and 6.2.0-2 should be updated to version 6.2.0-3 or later.

What, why and how

Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability in ABB Control Builder A, ABB 800xA for Advant Master. This issue affects Control Builder A: through 1.4/4; 800xA for Advant Master: through 6.0.3-1, through 6.1.1-1, 6.1.1-3, 6.2.0-1.

What

Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability in ABB Control Builder A, ABB 800xA for Advant Master. This issue affects Control Builder A: through 1.4/4; 800xA for Advant Master: through 6.0.3-1, through 6.1.1-1, 6.1.1-3, 6.2.0-1.

Why

The product uses a fixed or controlled search path to find resources, but one or more locations in that path can be under the control of unintended actors.

How

An attacker operating through local access 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
local access → Uncontrolled Search Path Element → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Local
Privileges required
Low: a basic authenticated account is required
User interaction

Attack complexity
High: exploitation depends on specific conditions

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-427 ↗

CWE-427: Uncontrolled Search Path Element. The product uses a fixed or controlled search path to find resources, but one or more locations in that path can be under the control of unintended actors.
