Technical details

A missing authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) exists in the ABB AWIN GW100 rev.2 and GW120 wireless gateways. The flaw resides in critical functions that fail to verify the identity of the requester. An attacker with access to the adjacent network (local subnet) can exploit this vulnerability without any prior authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to gain high-impact access to data and availability, potentially leading to full device compromise or denial of service. Affected versions include AWIN GW100 rev.2 (2.0-0, 2.0-1) and AWIN GW120 (1.2-0, 1.2-1).

Affected products

  • ABB AWIN GW100 rev.2 2.0-0, 2.0-1
  • ABB AWIN GW120 1.2-0, 1.2-1
