Exploit Code

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.
