Recognize that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available.

Supported drives include ACS380, ACS380-E, ACS480, ACS580 and ACS880 primary control program.\n - ACS880 Virtual DrivePlus is a digital twin of ACS880 product series, running on a desktop in virtual time and designed for high-fidelity EMT (Electromagnetic Transient) simulations of a drive or drive systems.\n\nWhat might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?\n- An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could\n - allow arbitrary files to be deleted with system privileges (CVE-2026-81572),\n - read potentially sensitive configuration data and overwrite selected values in Server.ini (CVE-2026-81573),\n - crash CodeMeter and disclose sensitive information such as process memory and stack canaries (CVE-2026-81574),\n - crash CodeMeter (CVE-2026-81575), or\n - read potentially sensitive license information (CVE-2026-81576).\n\nHow could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?\n- Refer to section “Vulnerability severity and details“.\n\nCould the vulnerability be exploited remotely?\n- Yes, an attacker who has network access to an affected system node could exploit the vulnerabilities. Recommended practices include that process control systems are physically protected, have no direct connections to the Internet, and are separated from other networks by means of a firewall system that has a minimal number of ports exposed.\n\nWhen this security advisory was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed?\n- Yes, the vulnerabilities have been publicly disclosed.\n\nWhen this security advisory was issued, had ABB received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?\n- No, ABB had not received any information indicating that this vulnerability had been exploited when this security advisory was originally issued", "title": "Frequently asked questions" } ], "publisher": { "category": "vendor", "name": "ABB PSIRT", "namespace": "https://www.abb.com/global/en/company/about/cybersecurity/alerts-and-notifications" }, "references": [ { "category": "self", "summary": "ABB CYBERSECURITY ADVISORY - PDF version ", "url": "https://search.abb.com/library/Download.aspx?DocumentID=3ADR011572&LanguageCode=en&DocumentPartId=&Action=Launch" }, { "category": "self", "summary": "ABB CYBERSECURITY ADVISORY - CSAF version ", "url": "https://psirt.abb.com/csaf/2026/3adr011572.json" }, { "summary": "Local Privilege Escalation in CodeMeter Runtime on Windows\n", "url": "https://cdn.wibu.com/fileadmin/wibu_downloads/security_advisories/AdvisoryWIBU-103081.pdf" }, { "summary": "Vulnerabilities in CodeMeter Runtime If Configured as Server\n", "url": "https://cdn.wibu.com/fileadmin/wibu_downloads/security_advisories/AdvisoryWIBU-103401.pdf" } ], "title": "Automation Builder, Drive Application Builder, Virtual Drive, Virtual DrivePlus Impacted by multiple vulnerabilities in Wibu CodeMeter", "tracking": { "current_release_date": "2026-09-03T00:30:00.000Z", "generator": { "date": "2026-09-03T14:42:22.541Z", "engine": { "name": "Secvisogram", "version": "2.6.11" } }, "id": "3ADR011572", "initial_release_date": "2026-09-03T00:30:00.000Z", "revision_history": [ { "date": "2026-09-03T00:30:00.000Z", "legacy_version": "A", "number": "1", "summary": "Initial version." } ], "status": "final", "version": "1" } }, "product_tree": { "branches": [ { "branches": [ { "branches": [ { "category": "product_version_range", "name": ">2.10.0", "product": { "name": "ABB Automation Builder >2.10.0", "product_id": "AV1" } } ], "category": "product_name", "name": "Automation Builder" }, { "branches": [ { "category": "product_version_range", "name": "/all", "product": { "name": "ABB Drive Application Bulder /all", "product_id": "AV2" } } ], "category": "product_name", "name": "Drive Application Bulder" }, { "branches": [ { "category": "product_version_range", "name": ">1.5.1", "product": { "name": "ABB Virtual Drive >1.5.1", "product_id": "AV3" } }, { "category": "product_version", "name": "1.5.1", "product": { "name": "ABB Virtual Drive 1.5.1", "product_id": "FX1" } } ], "category": "product_name", "name": "Virtual Drive" }, { "branches": [ { "category": "product_version_range", "name": ">1.70", "product": { "name": "ABB Virtual Drive Plus >1.70", "product_id": "AV4" } } ], "category": "product_name", "name": "Virtual Drive Plus" } ], "category": "vendor", "name": "ABB" } ] }, "vulnerabilities": [ { "cve": "CVE-2026-81572", "cwe": { "id": "CWE-284", "name": "Improper Access Control" }, "notes": [ { "category": "description", "text": "cmu.exe --create-io --file C: creates a predictable temporary file under C:\\CM-Stick.
