Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.30% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs ABB ASPECT-Enterprise 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: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

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.

01

What, why and how

Exposure of file path, file size or file existence vulnerabilities in ASPECT provide attackers access to file system information if session administrator credentials become compromised. This issue affects ASPECT-Enterprise: through 3.08.03; NEXUS Series: through 3.08.03; MATRIX Series: through 3.08.03.

What

Exposure of file path, file size or file existence vulnerabilities in ASPECT provide attackers access to file system information if session administrator credentials become compromised. This issue affects ASPECT-Enterprise: through 3.08.03; NEXUS Series: through 3.08.03; MATRIX Series: through 3.08.03.

Why

The product does not properly prevent sensitive system-level information from being accessed by unauthorized actors who do not have the same level of access to the underlying system as the product does.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with elevated 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
a network path → Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

CWE-497: Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere. The product does not properly prevent sensitive system-level information from being accessed by unauthorized actors who do not have the same level of access to the underlying system as the product does.

Official advisory ↗
NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2025-0177Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in ABB ASPECT-productlijn

De kwetsbaarheden omvatten onder andere Remote Code Execution, SQL-injectie, servlet-injectie, en verschillende vormen van bestandstoegang en -manipulatie. Deze kwetsbaarheden kunnen worden geëxploiteerd wanneer sessie-administratorcredentials zijn gecompromitteerd, wat kan leiden tot ongeautoriseerde toegang, controle over systemen, en ernstige gevolgen voor de integriteit en vertrouwelijkheid van gegevens. Aanvallers kunnen bijvoorbeeld willekeurige code uitvoeren, systeembronnen uitputten, gevoelige bestanden benaderen of zelfs systeembestanden verwijderen, wat kan resulteren in operationele verstoringen.
