The ABB Cylon Aspect BAS controller is vulnerable to an authenticated hybrid path traversal vulnerability in logYumLookup.php due to insufficient validation of the logFile parameter. The script checks for the presence of an expected path (/var/log/yum.log) using strpos(), which can be bypassed by appending directory traversal sequences. This allows an authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files on the system, potentially exposing sensitive configuration files, credentials, or logs. The issue stems from a lack of proper path normalization and strict path validation, enabling attackers to escape the intended directory restriction.
