Authentication bypass via primary weakness (CWE-305) in ABB Freelance DCS affects every major release line from 2013 through 2024, allowing a locally authenticated low-privilege user to circumvent the product's authentication mechanism and gain elevated control over the system. The CVSS vector (AV:L/PR:L/I:H) confirms the attacker must already hold a foothold on the host but can then achieve high integrity impact - particularly serious in an industrial control system context where manipulating controller configurations can affect physical processes. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, though the wide version span and OT deployment context elevate remediation urgency.
