ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.03 (logYumLookup.php) Hybrid Path Traversal
Vendor: ABB Ltd.
Product web page: https://www.global.abb
Affected version: NEXUS Series, MATRIX-2 Series, ASPECT-Enterprise, ASPECT-Studio
Firmware: <=3.08.03
Summary: ASPECT is an award-winning scalable building energy management
and control solution designed to allow users seamless access to their
building data through standard building protocols including smart devices.
Desc: The ABB Cylon Aspect BAS controller is vulnerable to an authenticated
hybrid path traversal vulnerability in logYumLookup.php due to insufficient
validation of the logFile parameter. The script checks for the presence
of an expected path (/var/log/yum.log) using strpos(), which can be bypassed
by appending directory traversal sequences. This allows an authenticated
attacker to read arbitrary files on the system, potentially exposing sensitive
configuration files, credentials, or logs. The issue stems from a lack of proper
path normalization and strict path validation, enabling attackers to escape
the intended directory restriction.
