CVE-2022-0010

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability in ABB QCS 800xA, ABB QCS AC450, ABB Platform Engineering Tools.

An attacker, who already has local access to the QCS nodes, could successfully obtain the password for a system user account. Using this information, the attacker could have the potential to exploit this vulnerability to gain control of system nodes.

This issue affects QCS 800xA: from 1.0;0 through 6.1SP2; QCS AC450: from 1.0;0 through 5.1SP2; Platform Engineering Tools: from 1.0:0 through 2.3.0.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
