🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Identify all PlaySMS instances in your environment and document versions
2. Isolate affected PlaySMS servers from public internet access immediately
3. Implement network segmentation to restrict access to PlaySMS to authorized users only
4. Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring of all PlaySMS activities
PATCHING:
1. Apply the latest security patch from PlaySMS project immediately
2. Test patches in isolated environment before production deployment
3. Verify patch installation and restart PlaySMS services
4. Validate SMS functionality post-patching
COMPENSATING CONTROLS (if patching delayed):
1. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SSTI payloads
2. Implement input validation and sanitization at application layer
3. Restrict PlaySMS access to trusted IP addresses only
4. Disable template processing features if not required
5. Run PlaySMS with minimal privileges (non-root user)
DETECTION:
1. Monitor for suspicious template syntax in HTTP requests ({{ }}, {# #}, etc.)
2. Alert on unusual process execution from PlaySMS service account
3. Track failed and successful authentication attempts
4. Monitor outbound connections from PlaySMS servers
5. Implement IDS/IPS signatures for SSTI attack patterns
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تحديد جميع نسخ PlaySMS في بيئتك وتوثيق الإصدارات
2. عزل خوادم PlaySMS المتأثرة عن الإنترنت العام فورًا
3. تطبيق تقسيم الشبكة لتقييد الوصول إلى PlaySMS للمستخدمين المصرح لهم فقط
4. تفعيل السجلات الشاملة ومراقبة جميع أنشطة PlaySMS
التصحيح:
1. تطبيق أحدث تصحيح أمني من مشروع PlaySMS فورًا
2. اختبار التصحيحات في بيئة معزولة قبل نشرها في الإنتاج
3. التحقق من تثبيت التصحيح وإعادة تشغيل خدمات PlaySMS
4. التحقق من وظائف SMS بعد التصحيح
الضوابط البديلة (إذا تأخر التصحيح):
1. نشر قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب لحجب حمولات SSTI
2. تطبيق التحقق من صحة المدخلات والتطهير على مستوى التطبيق
3. تقييد الوصول إلى PlaySMS لعناوين IP الموثوقة فقط
4. تعطيل ميزات معالجة القوالب إذا لم تكن مطلوبة
5. تشغيل PlaySMS بامتيازات محدودة (حساب غير جذر)
الكشف:
1. مراقبة بناء جملة القوالب المريبة في طلبات HTTP
2. التنبيه على تنفيذ العمليات غير المعتادة من حساب خدمة PlaySMS
3. تتبع محاولات المصادقة الفاشلة والناجحة
4. مراقبة الاتصالات الصادرة من خوادم PlaySMS
5. تطبيق توقيعات IDS/IPS لأنماط هجمات SSTI
