ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.03 (productRemovalUpdate.php) Remote Code Execution


Vendor: ABB Ltd.
Product web page: https://www.global.abb
Affected version: NEXUS Series, MATRIX-2 Series, ASPECT-Enterprise, ASPECT-Studio
                  Firmware: <=3.08.03

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 BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated blind OS command
injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary
shell commands through the 'instance' HTTP POST parameter called by the
productRemovalUpdate.php script. The token (key POST param) needs to be set
to 159 to trigger the command execution.
