ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.01 (jsonProxy.php) Unauthenticated Project Download

Title: ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.01 (jsonProxy.php) Unauthenticated Project Download
Advisory ID: ZSL-2024-5855
Type: Local/Remote
Impact: Security Bypass, 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 jsonProxy.php endpoint on the ABB BMS/BAS controller is vulnerable to unauthorized project file disclosure. An unauthenticated remote attacker can issue a GET request abusing the DownloadProject servlet to download sensitive project files. The jsonProxy.php script bypasses authentication by proxying requests to localhost (AspectFT Automation Application Server), granting remote attackers unauthorized access to internal Java servlets. This exposes potentially sensitive project data and configuration details without requiring authentication.
