ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.02 PHP Session Fixation Vulnerability

The ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS controller is vulnerable to session fixation, allowing an attacker to set a predefined PHPSESSID value. This can be exploited by leveraging an unauthenticated reflected XSS vulnerability in jsonProxy.php to inject a crafted request, forcing the victim to adopt a fixated session.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, users should ensure that the software is updated to the latest version available from the vendor. Additionally, it is recommended to restrict access to the affected systems and implement proper input validation mechanisms.
