ABB’s ACS880 Drives: Vulnerability Overload or Just a Denial-of-Service Party?
View CSAF and witness the electrifying drama of ABB ACS880 Drives with IEC 61131-3 licenses. Vulnerabilities like improper input validation and out-of-bounds write could let crafty hackers take center stage, causing denial-of-service chaos. It’s a security soap opera with a CVSS v3 rating of 8.8—riveting and, unfortunately, remotely exploitable!

Hot Take:
ABB’s drives are going on a wild ride, and not in a good way! It turns out, their ACS880 Drives are sporting more vulnerabilities than Swiss cheese has holes. While these exploits won’t make your devices dance the polka, they could lead to full device access or denial-of-service conditions. Buckle up, because this cybersecurity rollercoaster is about to get bumpy!
Key Points:
- ABB’s ACS880 Drives are vulnerable to remote exploitation with a CVSS score of 8.8.
- Multiple CODESYS Runtime vulnerabilities are at play, including improper input validation and out-of-bounds write.
- Successful exploitation could grant attackers full device access or trigger denial-of-service.
- ABB has released firmware updates to patch the vulnerabilities, but users can also apply specific mitigations.
- No public exploitation reports yet, but you know what they say about calm before the storm!
