🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
1. Immediately disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader/Acrobat through Edit > Preferences > JavaScript and uncheck 'Enable Acrobat JavaScript' until patches are available
2. Implement application whitelisting and restrict PDF file execution to trusted sources only, blocking email attachments and untrusted downloads
3. Deploy network-level protections including email gateway scanning for malicious PDFs, endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions, and consider temporarily using alternative PDF readers for critical operations
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
1. تعطيل JavaScript فوراً في Adobe Reader/Acrobat من خلال Edit > Preferences > JavaScript وإلغاء تحديد 'Enable Acrobat JavaScript' حتى توفر التصحيحات الأمنية
2. تطبيق قوائم التطبيقات المسموحة وتقييد تنفيذ ملفات PDF على المصادر الموثوقة فقط، مع حظر مرفقات البريد الإلكتروني والتنزيلات غير الموثوقة
3. نشر حماية على مستوى الشبكة تشمل فحص بوابات البريد الإلكتروني للكشف عن ملفات PDF الخبيثة، وحلول الكشف والاستجابة للنقاط الطرفية (EDR)، والنظر في استخدام قارئات PDF بديلة مؤقتاً للعمليات الحرجة
