🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Inventory all systems running Faleemi Desktop Software 1.8 across your organization
2. Restrict user permissions to System Setup dialog through Group Policy or application-level controls
3. Disable or remove Faleemi Desktop Software 1.8 if alternative solutions are available
4. Implement application whitelisting to prevent unauthorized code execution
COMPENSATING CONTROLS:
1. Deploy EMET (Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit) or Windows Defender Exploit Guard to enforce additional DEP protections
2. Run Faleemi in a restricted user account without administrative privileges
3. Implement file path input validation at the OS level using AppLocker rules
4. Monitor for suspicious process creation and ROP chain execution patterns
DETECTION RULES:
1. Monitor for abnormal file path inputs exceeding 260 characters in Faleemi configuration files
2. Alert on Faleemi.exe spawning child processes with unusual memory allocation patterns
3. Track structured exception handling (SEH) overwrites in process memory
4. Monitor registry modifications to Faleemi configuration paths
PATCHING:
1. Contact Faleemi vendor for security updates or patches
2. If no patch is available within 30 days, plan migration to alternative software
3. Document all instances and create remediation timeline
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. قم بحصر جميع الأنظمة التي تعمل بـ Faleemi Desktop Software 1.8 في مؤسستك
2. قيد أذونات المستخدم لنافذة إعدادات النظام من خلال Group Policy أو ضوابط على مستوى التطبيق
3. قم بتعطيل أو إزالة Faleemi Desktop Software 1.8 إذا كانت هناك حلول بديلة متاحة
4. طبق قائمة التطبيقات المسموحة لمنع تنفيذ الأكواد غير المصرح بها
الضوابط التعويضية:
1. نشر EMET أو Windows Defender Exploit Guard لفرض حماية DEP إضافية
2. قم بتشغيل Faleemi بحساب مستخدم مقيد بدون امتيازات إدارية
3. طبق التحقق من صحة مسار الملف على مستوى نظام التشغيل باستخدام قواعد AppLocker
4. راقب إنشاء العمليات المريبة وأنماط تنفيذ ROP chain
قواعد الكشف:
1. راقب مدخلات مسار الملف غير الطبيعية التي تتجاوز 260 حرفاً في ملفات تكوين Faleemi
2. أصدر تنبيهات عند قيام Faleemi.exe بإنشاء عمليات فرعية بأنماط تخصيص ذاكرة غير عادية
3. تتبع عمليات الكتابة فوق معالجة الاستثناءات المنظمة (SEH) في ذاكرة العملية
4. راقب تعديلات السجل على مسارات تكوين Faleemi
التصحيح:
1. اتصل بمورد Faleemi للحصول على تحديثات أمان أو تصحيحات
2. إذا لم يكن هناك تصحيح متاح خلال 30 يوماً، خطط للهجرة إلى برنامج بديل
3. وثق جميع الحالات وأنشئ جدول زمني للمعالجة
