ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.02 (ethernetUpdate.php) Authenticated Path Traversal

The ABB Cylon controller suffers from an authenticated path traversal vulnerability. This can be exploited through the 'devName' POST parameter in the ethernetUpdate.php script to write partially controlled content, such as IP address values, into arbitrary file paths, potentially leading to configuration tampering and system compromise including denial of service scenario through ethernet configuration backup file overwrite.

GHSA-5pf6-cq2v-23ww: WhoDB Allows Unbounded Memory Consumption in Authentication Middleware Can Lead to Denial of Service

### Summary A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in the authentication middleware allows any client to cause memory exhaustion by sending large request bodies. The server reads the entire request body into memory without size limits, creating multiple copies during processing, which can lead to Out of Memory conditions. Affects all versions up to the latest one (v0.43.0). ### Details The vulnerability exists in the AuthMiddleware function in `core/src/auth/auth.go`. The middleware processes all API requests (`/api/*`) and reads the entire request body using `io.ReadAll` without any size limits: ```go func AuthMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler { return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r http.Request) { // No size limit on body reading body, err := io.ReadAll(r.Body) // ... // Creates another copy of the body r.Body = io.NopCloser(bytes.NewReader(body)) // ... // Unmarshals the body again, creating more copies if err := j...
