CVE-2022-1607

Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in NE843 Pulsar Plus Controller

Description

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in ABB Pulsar Plus System Controller NE843_S, ABB Infinity DC Power Plant allows Cross Site Request Forgery.This issue affects Pulsar Plus System Controller NE843_S : comcode 150042936; Infinity DC Power Plant: H5692448 G104 G842 G224L G630-4 G451C(2) G461(2) – comcode 150047415.

Remediation

Workaround:

  • A workaround is to use the controller’s Read/Write Enable/Disable feature for a network port (NET1,WRE=0). The controller can disable all writes over the network port. The factory default is to have the write capability enabled. However, some customers do not want settings to be remotely changed once systems are set. This feature, when set to Disable, will allow no changes to be accepted. Once set it can only be changed locally through the front panel. ABB has tested the following workarounds. Although these workarounds will not correct the underlying vulnerability, they can help block known attack vectors. When a workaround reduces functionality, this is identified below as “Impact of workaround”
