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 · unedited
Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerabilities were found providing a potential for access to unauthorized resources and unintended information disclosure.  Affected products: ABB ASPECT - Enterprise v3.08.02; NEXUS Series v3.08.02; MATRIX Series v3.08.02

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 confidence

This is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in ABB's ASPECT Enterprise, NEXUS Series, and MATRIX Series products (all v3.08.02). The vulnerability allows attackers to make the server perform unauthorized requests to internal resources, potentially accessing sensitive internal services, cloud metadata endpoints, or internal network infrastructure that should be protected by network segmentation.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches or updates when available. If no patch exists, implement network segmentation and restrict outbound network access from the affected systems to prevent exploitation from reaching internal 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed ABB product model
    Locate the product name and model number through the device interface, system information page, or documentation. Look for ASPECT Enterprise, NEXUS Series, or MATRIX Series designations.
    Affected if The product is one of: ABB Aspect Enterprise (any variant: Ent 2, Ent 256, Ent 96), ABB Nexus (any variant: 2128, 2128 A, 2128 F, 2128 G, 264), or ABB Matrix Series.
  2. Check the firmware or software version
    Access the device management interface or system settings to find the firmware version. This is typically shown in 'About', 'System Info', or 'Firmware Version' sections of the ABB software or web interface.
    Affected if The displayed firmware version is lower than 3.08.03.
  3. Verify web service availability
    Determine if the device has an active web interface, API endpoint, or network service that accepts URL parameters. Check if HTTP/HTTPS services are running on the device.
    Affected if The device exposes a web interface or API service that could accept URL input from external sources.
  4. Assess network exposure
    Review network configuration to determine if the ABB device is accessible from untrusted networks or the internet. Check firewall rules and access control lists.
    Affected if The device web interface is exposed to untrusted networks without proper network segmentation or authentication barriers.

You are affected if you have an ABB Aspect Enterprise, Nexus, or Matrix device running firmware version below 3.08.03 with an accessible web interface or API that could accept user-supplied URLs.

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 · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 3.08.03 or later
Fixed in 3.08.03
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-supplied patches or updates when available. If no patch exists, implement network segmentation and restrict outbound network access from the affected systems to prevent exploitation from reaching internal resources.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Firmware 3.08.03 for Aspect Enterprise and Nexus Series devices

  1. Identify the exact model of the ABB Aspect Enterprise or Nexus Series device from the affected product list
  2. Access the device management interface or ABB support portal at search.abb.com
  3. Download firmware version 3.08.03 for your specific device model
  4. Follow ABB's standard firmware upgrade procedure for your device, typically involving uploading the firmware file through the web interface or using the device's update mechanism
  5. After upgrade, verify the firmware version is 3.08.03 or later
  6. Confirm the SSRF vulnerability is resolved by verifying the affected endpoints no longer allow unauthorized SSRF requests
