Descriptions

Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities where found providing a potential for malicious scripts to be injected into a client browser. Affected products: ABB ASPECT - Enterprise v3.08.02; NEXUS Series v3.08.02; MATRIX Series v3.08.02

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.02 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 denial of service.
