ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.01 (jsonProxy.php) Servlet Inclusion Authentication Bypass

Title: ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.01 (jsonProxy.php) Servlet Inclusion Authentication Bypass
Advisory ID: ZSL-2024-5854
Type: Local/Remote
Impact: Security Bypass, Privilege Escalation, System Access, Exposure of System Information, Exposure of Sensitive Information
Risk: (5/5)
Release Date: 30.10.2024
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.
Description
The ABB BMS/BAS controller is vulnerable to remote, arbitrary servlet inclusion. The jsonProxy.php endpoint allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access internal services by proxying requests to localhost. This results in an authentication bypass, enabling attackers to interact with multiple java servlets without authorization, potentially exposing sensitive system functions and information.
