• → Look for HTTP POST requests containing 'submitDeleteForm=Delete' and 'file0=' parameters with path traversal sequences (e.g., '../') targeting ABB ASPECT/NEXUS/MATRIX web server endpoints. ↗
• → Monitor for the POST parameter 'delete0=1' combined with 'submitDeleteForm=Delete' in web server logs, which indicates an attempted arbitrary file deletion via path traversal. ↗
• → Flag any web requests to ABB ASPECT/NEXUS/MATRIX Series v3.08.01 web servers containing 'file0=' with directory traversal patterns ('../../') in the request body. ↗

• · The exploit targets the ABB Cylon Aspect web server (htmlroot path), so detection rules should be applied at the web application layer for these specific OT/BMS devices. ↗
