The exploit is only triggered when a local user runs the vulnerable application, which in certain scenarios can cause it to load a dll file from an untrusted source. This vulnerability is not exploitable remotely and cannot be exploited without user interaction. The executable file has mistakenly been included, but not used in the distribution of all RobotStudio, Versions 5.60 up to and including 5.61.01.01.Ī CVSS v2 base score of 9.3 has been assigned the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C). The vulnerability can be exploited when an executable file is executed during installation of RobotStudio to resolve the location of other DLLs to be dynamically loaded by a third-party component. VULNERABILITY CHARACTERIZATION VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW ABB estimates that these products are used globally. According to ABB, these products are deployed across several industries including manufacturing, discrete automation, and others. The Test Signal Viewer software is a PC product used for tuning motion parameters for external axes such as track motion and turning tables. The vulnerability exists in an executable file included in the product versions listed above. The RobotStudio software is a PC product used for offline programming and simulation of ABB Robot system. ABB develops products in multiple critical sectors that are deployed worldwide.

BACKGROUNDĪBB is a company based in Switzerland that maintains offices in several countries around the world. NCCIC/ICS-CERT recommends that organizations evaluate the impact of this vulnerability based on their operational environment, architecture, and product implementation. Impact to individual organizations depends on many factors that are unique to each organization. The vulnerability could allow an attacker who successfully exploits it to insert and run arbitrary code on an affected system. RobotStudio Version 5.60 up to and including 5.61.01.01, and.

Sanchez has tested the new version to validate that it resolves the vulnerability. ABB has produced new versions that mitigate this vulnerability. Ivan Sanchez of WiseSecurity Team has identified a dll hijack vulnerability in the ABB RobotStudio and Test Signal Viewer applications.
