🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
1. Immediately isolate or disable Adobe Reader/Acrobat on critical systems until patches become available, and deploy alternative PDF readers with sandboxing capabilities for essential operations.
2. Implement strict email filtering and web proxy rules to block PDF attachments and downloads from untrusted sources, and enable Enhanced Protected Mode if available in newer versions.
3. Deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions with behavioral monitoring to detect exploitation attempts targeting acroform.dll, and establish incident response procedures for suspected compromises.
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
1. عزل أو تعطيل Adobe Reader/Acrobat فوراً على الأنظمة الحرجة حتى توفر التصحيحات الأمنية، ونشر برامج قراءة PDF بديلة مع قدرات العزل الأمني للعمليات الضرورية.
2. تطبيق تصفية صارمة للبريد الإلكتروني وقواعد الوكيل الشبكي لحظر مرفقات وتنزيلات PDF من مصادر غير موثوقة، وتفعيل الوضع المحمي المحسّن إن كان متاحاً في الإصدارات الأحدث.
3. نشر حلول الكشف والاستجابة للنقاط الطرفية (EDR) مع المراقبة السلوكية لاكتشاف محاولات الاستغلال المستهدفة لـ acroform.dll، وإنشاء إجراءات الاستجابة للحوادث للاختراقات المشتبه بها.
