ABB Cylon’s Code Chaos: Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Unleashed!
ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.02 is under fire with a vulnerability that lets attackers execute arbitrary shell commands. This is the digital equivalent of leaving your front door open with a welcome mat for hackers. Let’s hope ABB can patch things up before more people RSVP to this unintended party.

Hot Take:
When your smart building is a bit too smart for its own good, it might just let hackers in without asking for ID. ABB’s Cylon Aspect is like the overly friendly neighbor who lets anyone borrow their lawnmower. Time to lock up tighter than a paranoid house cat!
Key Points:
- ABB Cylon Aspect has a vulnerability allowing remote code execution via authenticated command injection.
- Several POST parameters are not properly sanitized, leading to potential shell command execution.
- An off-by-one error in array access could lead to undefined behavior and potential denial of service (DoS).
- Vulnerability affects NEXUS Series, MATRIX-2 Series, ASPECT-Enterprise, and ASPECT-Studio versions <=3.08.02.
- Vulnerabilities discovered by Gjoko ‘LiquidWorm’ Krstic, with multiple CVEs assigned.
