CVE-2024-4007
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 · uneditedDefault credential in install package in ABB ASPECT; NEXUS Series; MATRIX Series version 3.07 allows attacker to login to product instances wrongly configured.
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 · moderate confidenceDefault credentials are present in the install package for ABB ASPECT, NEXUS Series, and MATRIX Series version 3.07. Attackers can exploit these default credentials to authenticate to product instances that were not properly reconfigured after installation.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 installed firmware versionAccess the device admin interface or check system information page to retrieve the current firmware version for ABB ASPECT or MATRIX Series deviceAffected if Version is displayed as less than 3.07.02 (e.g., 3.07, 3.06.x, etc.)
-
Determine product modelVerify the specific product model (Aspect Ent 12, Ent 2, Ent 96, Ent 256, Matrix 11, 216, 232, or 264) from device labeling or admin interfaceAffected if Product is one of the listed ABB Aspect Ent or Matrix models with firmware below 3.07.02
-
Verify credential statusAttempt to log in using known default credentials or check authentication configuration to determine if default credentials have been changed from installation defaultsAffected if Default credentials remain unchanged or still active on the device
-
Check remote access configurationExamine network settings or access control configuration to determine if remote administrative access is enabledAffected if Remote administrative access is enabled and device is accessible over network with default credentials
A device is affected if it runs any of the listed ABB ASPECT or MATRIX Series firmware versions below 3.07.02 AND retains default credentials from the install package.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.07.02
Immediately change all default credentials on affected devices to strong, unique passwords. Ensure proper configuration during installation and disable remote administrative access if not required.
Firmware version 3.07.02 or later for all affected Aspect Ent and Matrix models
- Obtain firmware version 3.07.02 or later from ABB's official support channels (search.abb.com)
- Review ABB's firmware update documentation for your specific device model
- Backup current device configuration before proceeding with firmware update
- Follow the standard firmware upgrade procedure for your Aspect Ent or Matrix device
- After upgrade, verify the default credentials have been changed from any factory defaults
- Ensure any instances that were 'wrongly configured' are reconfigured with strong, unique credentials
