View CVE Details Affected Products ABB T-MAC Plus Vendor:ABB Product Version:ABB T-MAC Plus 4.0-24 Product Status:known_affected Remediations Vendor fixABB has investigated these vulnerabilities to provide adequate protection to customers. The problem is corrected in the following product versions: T-MAC Plus version 4.0-25 ABB recommends that customers apply the update at earliest convenience. MitigationThe misconfigurations on the IIS server, which were reported to security auditing, have been corrected. File Browsing Feature was enabled on that IIS server. That feature along with the default IIS site has been removed. WorkaroundWorkarounds are specific measures that a user can take to help block an attack, for example, temporarily disabling the vulnerable feature may remove the exposure with well-known impact on functionality. ABB has tested the following workarounds. Although these workarounds will not correct the underlying vulnerability, they can help block known attack vectors. When a workaround reduces functionality, this is identified below as “Impact of workaround”.
