Description
A vulnerability exists in the ABB Cylon FLXeon controller that allows unauthenticated access to the Building Management System (BMS) or Building Automation System (BAS) dashboard. This exposes sensitive information, including system status, events, and alarms related to HVAC operations. Additionally, an attacker could manipulate environmental controls such as temperature settings, potentially disrupting building climate regulation and operational safety.Vendor
