This vulnerability (CVE-2025-13162) is classified as CWE-427: Uncontrolled Search Path Element. It affects ABB Control Builder A and ABB 800xA for Advant Master products in specified versions. The issue arises because the software does not properly control the search path for loading resources or executables, which could allow an attacker with limited privileges and local access to influence the execution flow, potentially causing integrity violations. The CVSS vector indicates local attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, user interaction required, and impact limited to integrity. The vendor has not provided a remediation level or patch information at this time.

The vulnerability impacts the integrity of the affected ABB products by allowing an attacker with local access and low privileges to potentially influence the search path used by the application. This could lead to unauthorized modification of the application's behavior or execution of unintended code. There is no impact on confidentiality or availability reported. No known exploits are currently in the wild.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict local access to trusted users only and follow best practices for limiting user privileges. Monitor vendor communications for updates on patches or official mitigations.
