Hot Take:

ABB’s RMC-100 vulnerabilities are like leaving your front door wide open, but only if you live in a rare dimension where doors are secretly hidden in the depths of your private control network. Just make sure not to invite the neighborhood hackers over for tea.

Key Points:

  • ABB’s RMC-100 is under the spotlight for vulnerabilities due to the REST interface being enabled.
  • Exploits include unauthorized access to MQTT configuration data and denial-of-service conditions.
  • Multiple CVEs with CVSS scores ranging up to 8.2 highlight the severity.
  • ABB suggests disabling the REST interface by default for safety.
  • Vera Mens from Claroty Team82 should get applause for discovering these issues.
