🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Identify all instances of Chikitsa PMS 2.0.2 in your healthcare environment
2. Restrict access to the module upload functionality to trusted administrators only
3. Review authentication logs for suspicious plugin uploads or failed authentication attempts
4. Isolate affected systems from production networks if exploitation is suspected
PATCHING:
1. Upgrade Chikitsa PMS to version 2.0.3 or later immediately
2. Verify patch application by checking version in system settings
3. Test functionality in staging environment before production deployment
COMPENSATING CONTROLS (if immediate patching not possible):
1. Disable plugin upload functionality at the application level
2. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block suspicious ZIP uploads to plugin endpoints
3. Restrict file upload permissions to read-only for PHP directories
4. Monitor /uploads and plugin directories for unauthorized PHP files
DETECTION:
1. Search for recently modified PHP files in plugin directories with timestamps after compromise window
2. Monitor for POST requests to plugin upload endpoints with ZIP file content-type
3. Alert on execution of PHP files in upload directories
4. Review web server logs for suspicious plugin activation patterns
