ABB Cylon Aspect MIX's NTPServlet allows NTP config changes via the Host: 127.0.0.1 bypass, writing attacker-controlled hosts to NTPTickers and syncing the system clock. A malicious NTP server can manipulate time, enabling DoS or time-based attacks.
ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS is vulnerable to a critical flaw in the AuthenticatedHttpServlet within its application server, enabling remote attackers to bypass authentication by setting the Host: 127.0.0.1 header. This deceives the server into processing requests as if they originate from localhost, granting unauthorized access to privileged operations. This bypass grants access to privileged functionality, including the HTTPDownloadServlet, which is vulnerable to directory traversal. By leveraging this, an attacker can delete arbitrary PHP files outside the intended directory scope.
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the mstp.ko kernel module, responsible for processing BACnet MS/TP frames over serial (RS485). The SendFrame() function writes directly into a statically sized kernel buffer (alloc_entry(0x1f5)) without validating the length of attacker-controlled data (param_5). If an MS/TP frame contains a crafted payload exceeding 492 bytes, the function performs out-of-bounds writes beyond the allocated 501-byte buffer, corrupting kernel memory. This flaw allows local or physically connected attackers to trigger denial-of-service or achieve remote code execution in kernel space. Tested against version 3.08.03 with a custom BACnet frame over /dev/ttyS0.
The ABB Cylon Aspect BAS controller allows login using guest:guest, which initiates a web session but restricts access to administrative features by returning an 'Invalid Admin Username and/or Password' message. However, the session is still active and valid within the HMI environment. Despite failed privilege validation in the login flow, direct navigation to /setup.php bypasses authentication and authorization controls entirely. This endpoint serves as the administrative dashboard and allows full configuration access, including the ability to change credentials for the privileged aamuser account. This flaw results in privilege escalation from a limited guest session to full administrative control, compromising the integrity of the system.
A DLL hijacking vulnerability exists in Aspect-Studio version 3.08.03, where the application attempts to load a library named CylonLicence via System.loadLibrary("CylonLicence") without a full path, falling back to the standard library search order. If an attacker can plant a malicious CylonLicence.dll in a writable directory that is searched before the legitimate library path, this DLL will be loaded and executed with the privileges of the user running the application. This flaw enables arbitrary code execution and can be exploited for privilege escalation or persistence, especially in environments where the application is executed by privileged users.
Coca-Cola and its bottling partner CCEP targeted in separate cyber incidents, with the Everest ransomware gang and the Gehenna hacking group claiming data breaches involving sensitive employee and CRM data.
The U.S. government today unsealed criminal charges against 16 individuals accused of operating and selling DanaBot, a prolific strain of information-stealing malware that has been sold on Russian cybercrime forums since 2018. The FBI says a newer version of DanaBot was used for espionage, and that many of the defendants exposed their real-life identities after accidentally infecting their own systems with the malware.
The same easily exploitable vulnerability was found in three of the apps that led to the compromise of victims' data.
While Ukraine remains Russia's major target for cyberattacks, TAG-110 is part of a strategy to preserve "a post-Soviet sphere of influence" by embedding itself in other countries' infrastructures.
