It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-8478 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ABB Base Software for SoftControl. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8478/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8478/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8478","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8478/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8478","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hjpp-qfqw-hpvq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ABB System 800xA","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can inject data into inter-process communications, altering the runtime data view in Control Builder.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ABB","cpe":[{"product":"base_software","vendor":"abb"},{"product":"mms_server","vendor":"abb"},{"product":"opc_server","vendor":"abb"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-74","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component"},{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Insufficient protection of the inter-process communication functions in ABB System 800xA products OPC Server for AC 800M, MMS Server for AC 800M and Base Software for SoftControl (all published versions) enables an attacker authenticated on the local system to inject data, affecting the online view of runtime data shown in Control Builder.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"ABB System 800xA Inter process communication vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-8478","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"ABB Central Licensing System - XML External Entity Injection","id":"CVE-2020-8479"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ABB System 800xA Information Manager Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-8477"},"products":["Base Software for SoftControl","MMS Server for AC 800M","OPC Server for AC 800M"],"published":"2020-04-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"ABB Base Software for SoftControl Remote Code Execution vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-24672","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"ABB System 800xA Weak File Permissions - different products","id":"CVE-2020-8472","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-28"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["ABB"]},"summary":"An authenticated local attacker can inject data into inter-process communications, altering the runtime data view in Control Builder.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8478/"}
