Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow unrestricted access to the administrative telnet/web interface of the device, enabling attackers to compromise the availability of the device, read or modify registers and settings, or change the device configuration.

Remediations

  • ABB will not be releasing updated firmware, as both GATE-E1 and GATE-E2 have reached end of life (EOL). ABB recommends implementing defense-in-depth principles to minimize the risk that vulnerabilities are exploited.
  • Separate control system networks from other networks using firewall and managed switches that have minimal number of ports exposed.
  • Physically protect control system from unauthorized personnel.
  • Portable computers and removable storage should be scanned for viruses before connected to control system.
  • For more information about these vulnerabilities, ABB has published advisories ABBVU-EPPC-3099-SE-002 and ABBVU-EPPC-3099-SE-003
