ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to unauthorized SSH service configuration changes via the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can enable or disable the SSH service on the server by accessing the FTControlServlet with the sshenable parameter. The jsonProxy.php script proxies requests to localhost without enforcing authentication, allowing attackers to modify SSH settings and potentially gain further unauthorized access to the system.
