CVE-2022-2155
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability exists in the affected versions of Lumada APM’s User Asset Group feature due to a flaw in access control mechanism implementation on the “Limited Engineer” role, granting it access to the embedded Power BI reports feature. An attacker that manages to exploit the vulnerability on a customer’s Lumada APM could access unauthorized information by gaining unauthorized access to any Power BI reports installed by the customer. Furthermore, the vulnerability enables an attacker to manipulate asset issue comments on assets, which should not be available to the attacker.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThis is an authorization bypass vulnerability in Lumada APM where the 'Limited Engineer' role incorrectly grants access to embedded Power BI reports and allows manipulation of asset issue comments that should be restricted. The flaw is in the access control implementation for the User Asset Group feature, enabling users with Limited Engineer privileges to access unauthorized resources.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Lumada APM versionCheck the installed version of Hitachienergy Lumada Asset Performance Management. This is typically found in the product's About section, system information page, or version file within the installation directory. Compare against the affected range: >= 6.0.0.0 and < 6.4.0.1.Affected if Installed version falls within >= 6.0.0.0 and < 6.4.0.1
-
Audit Limited Engineer role assignmentsAccess the Lumada APM administrative console or user management interface. Review all users assigned the 'Limited Engineer' role. Export or document the list of users with this role.Affected if Any users are assigned the Limited Engineer role
-
Verify Power BI integration statusCheck whether embedded Power BI reports are configured or enabled in the Lumada APM environment. This is typically found in the integration settings, reporting configuration, or dashboard settings within the product.Affected if Power BI reports are embedded or configured in the environment
-
Inspect User Asset Group configurationExamine the User Asset Group feature settings in the access control or user management configuration. Verify how asset groups are assigned to Limited Engineer role users and whether proper filtering is applied.Affected if User Asset Group feature is enabled and accessible to Limited Engineer users
-
Review asset issue comment accessTest or review whether users with Limited Engineer role can access and manipulate asset issue comments. Check the access control permissions associated with comment creation, modification, or deletion for assets outside their assigned groups.Affected if Limited Engineer users can view or modify asset issue comments for resources outside their authorized scope
Environment is affected if running Lumada APM version 6.0.0.0 through 6.4.0.0 with Limited Engineer role assignments and Power BI integration enabled.

dbcve · scoped6.4.0.1
Apply vendor patch when available; in the interim, audit Limited Engineer role assignments, restrict access to sensitive Power BI reports, and monitor for unauthorized access or comment manipulation attempts.
Lumada APM version 6.4.0.1 or later
- Verify current Lumada APM version by checking the application's 'About' section or system information panel
- Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade process
- Create a full backup of the current Lumada APM installation including database and configuration files
- Download Lumada APM version 6.4.0.1 or later from the official Hitachi Energy support portal (search.abb.com)
- Follow the standard upgrade procedure documented in the Lumada APM installation guide for your deployment type (on-premises)
- After upgrade, verify that the 'Limited Engineer' role no longer has access to Power BI reports feature by attempting to access reports with a Limited Engineer account
- Test that asset issue comments cannot be manipulated by Limited Engineer role users
- Confirm all users have appropriate roles and permissions after upgrade
