ABB has issued an urgent cybersecurity advisory warning customers of a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in the ABB Ability Edgenius Management Portal. The flaw—tracked as CVE-2025-10571—affects versions 3.2.0.0 and 3.2.1.1, and allows an unauthenticated attacker to install applications, execute arbitrary code, uninstall software, and modify configurations on affected systems.
The vulnerability falls under CWE-288: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel, meaning attackers can directly access privileged functions without valid credentials. ABB rates the issue as critical, with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 9.6, placing it in the highest severity category.
According to ABB’s summary statement, “An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to install and run arbitrary code, uninstall installed applications, [and] modify the configuration of installed applications.”
ABB explains that the vulnerability can be triggered by sending a specially formed message to an Edgenius system node.
“An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted message to the system node allowing the attacker to install and run arbitrary code,” the advisory warns.
Once inside, an attacker gains expansive control over the edge environment—capabilities that could be devastating in industrial settings where Edgenius manages operational technology (OT) applications.
ABB has already issued a patched version (3.2.2.0). For environments unable to update immediately, ABB provides a temporary workaround: “Disabling the Edgenius Management Portal will disable the vulnerable component… This will have no impact on the day-to-day operations of an already deployed and configured system.”
