Summary

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.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Fuzzing and observing application log data/errors for application mapping
    An attacker sends random, malformed, or otherwise unexpected messages to a target application and observes the application's log or error messages returned. Fuzzing techniques involve sending random or malformed messages to a target and monitoring the target's response. The attacker does not initially know how a target will respond to individual messages but by attempting a large number of message variants they may find a variant that trigger's desired behavior. In this attack, the purpose of the fuzzing is to observe the application's log and error messages, although fuzzing a target can also sometimes cause the target to enter an unstable state, causing a crash. By observing logs and error messages, the attacker can learn details about the configuration of the target application and might be able to cause the target to disclose sensitive information.
