The ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This can be exploited by uploading a malicious .txt file containing an XSS payload, which is stored on the server and served back to users. Although the filename is sanitized via the filename POST parameter, the file contents are not inspected or sanitized, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary client-side scripts that execute in the context of any user accessing the infected file or related web page (license.php). To bypass file upload checks, the request must include the Variant string, enabling the upload process for potential exploitation.

A vulnerability was identified in a PHP script where an off-by-one error in array access could lead to undefined behavior and potential DoS. The issue arises in a loop that iterates over an array using a < condition, allowing access to an out-of-bounds index. This can trigger errors or unexpected behavior when processing data, potentially crashing the application. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a crash or disruption of service, especially if the script handles large data sets. This issue can be triggered via the rowCount POST parameter in the Electronic Security Control device update script.

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from improper input validation on the port POST parameter in the webServerUpdate.php script. This input is not validated on the server side and relies on bypassable client-side checks using the inString.js script to verify that the port parameter contains only characters from the set (0123456789). Attackers can bypass these checks and supply arbitrary integer values. Exploitation of this issue can result in configuration poisoning, Denial of Service (DoS) through malformed configurations, or manipulation of server settings via Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) combined with authentication bypass.

The ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated blind command injection vulnerability. Input passed to several POST parameters is not properly sanitized when writing files, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands on the system. There is also an off-by-one error in array access that could lead to undefined behavior and potential DoS.

The ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through the contents of an uploaded .db file, which is passed to the copyFile.sh script. Although the filename is sanitized, the contents of the .db file are not, allowing attackers to inject malicious commands that are executed on the server.

About Remote Code Execution – Apache Struts (CVE-2024-53677) vulnerability. Apache Struts is an open source software framework for building Java web applications. It allows developers to separate the application’s business logic from the user interface. Due to its scalability and flexibility, Apache Struts is often used in large enterprise projects. A security bulletin describing the […]

### Details Persistent XSS vulnerability in image link handling of PHP-Textile versions 4.1.2 and older, when running the parser in restricted mode. In restricted mode it is expected that the input would be sanitized, allowing user-input (such as user comments) to be parsed and handled safely by the PHP-Textile library. In restricted mode, the version 4.1.2 of the library does not sanitize or validate user-controllable href input in image links, but allows any link protocol or JavaScriptt links to be used. The vulnerability allows an attacker to add malicious JavaScript code to the page which is then executed when an unexpecting user clicks the link. In non-restricted mode, the library allows mixed HTML input, and any link protocol by design. In restricted mode, text links were already handled correctly and the vulnerability only affects image links. ### Resolution This issue was fixed in PHP-Textile version 4.1.3. Version 4.1.3 disallows use of JavaScript in image links when the ...

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability. Input passed to the GET parameters 'name' and 'id' is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML/JS code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS controller contains multiple instances of hard-coded credentials, including usernames, passwords, and encryption keys embedded in various java classes. This practice poses significant security risks, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access and compromise the system's integrity.
