ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.01 (networkDiagAjax.php) Remote Network Utility Execution


Vendor: ABB Ltd.
Product web page: https://www.global.abb
Affected version: NEXUS Series, MATRIX-2 Series, ASPECT-Enterprise, ASPECT-Studio
                  Firmware: <=3.08.01

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 vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to perform network
operations such as ping, traceroute, or nslookup on arbitrary hosts or IPs by
sending a crafted GET request to networkDiagAjax.php. This could be exploited
to interact with or probe internal or external systems, leading to internal
information disclosure and misuse of network resources.
