The vulnerability origins in the commissioning process where an attacker of the ControlTouch can enter a serial number in a specific way to transfer the device virtually into her/his my.busch-jaeger.de or mybuildings.abb.com profile. A successful attacker can observe and control a ControlTouch remotely under very specific circumstances. The issue is fixed in the cloud side of the system. No firmware update is needed for customer products. If a user wants to understand if (s)he is affected, please read the advisory. This issue affects: ABB and Busch-Jaeger, ControlTouch
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.5, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts limited data confidentiality, limited integrity, for affected systems. Impacting 2 products from abb, from busch-jaeger organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2021, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For abb's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
