# Exploit Title : ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.01 - Arbitrary File Delete

Vendor: ABB Ltd.
Product web page: https://www.global.abb
Affected version: NEXUS Series, MATRIX-2 Series, ASPECT-Enterprise, ASPECT-Studio
                  Firmware: <=3.08.01

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 BMS/BAS controller suffers from an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability.
Input passed to the 'file' parameter in 'databasefiledelete.php' is not properly
sanitised before being used to delete files. This can be exploited by an unauthenticated
attacker to delete files with the permissions of the web server using directory
traversal sequences passed within the affected POST parameter.
