The affected products include ABB AWIN Gateways, ABB Ability OPTIMAX, ABB Ability Symphony Plus Engineering, ABB Edgenius Management Portal (versions 3.2.0.0 and 3.2.1.1), ABB PCM600 (versions 1.5 to 2.13), ABB System 800xA, ABB Symphony Plus IEC 61850, and NSA GRASSMARLIN (all versions). These vulnerabilities, if exploited, could allow attackers to compromise the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of industrial control systems, potentially leading to disruption of critical infrastructure operations. Defenders should promptly review the advisories from CISA and apply the recommended mitigations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the generic nature of the advisory, a specific attack chain cannot be defined.
