ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.01 (badassMode) File Upload MD5 Checksum Bypass  
  
  
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 ABB BMS/BAS system has a vulnerability in caldavInstall.php,  
caldavInstallAgendav.php, and caldavUpload.php files, where the presence  
of an EXPERTMODE parameter activates a badassMode feature. This mode allows  
an unauthenticated attacker to bypass MD5 checksum validation during file  
uploads. By enabling badassMode and setting the skipChecksum parameter, the  
system skips integrity verification, allowing attackers to upload or install  
altered CalDAV zip files without authentication. This vulnerability permits  
unauthorized file modifications, potentially exposing the system to tampering  
or malicious uploads.
