🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Immediate Actions:
1. Audit all accommodation type entries for suspicious script injections in title and excerpt fields
2. Review access logs for unauthorized changes to accommodation types by authenticated users
3. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution
4. Enable input validation and output encoding on accommodation type fields
Patching Guidance:
1. Upgrade Motopress Hotel Booking Lite to version 4.2.5 or later when available
2. If upgrade unavailable, apply Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block script tags in accommodation parameters
3. Implement strict input sanitization using WordPress sanitization functions (sanitize_text_field, wp_kses_post)
Compensating Controls:
1. Restrict accommodation type creation/editing to trusted administrator accounts only
2. Implement role-based access control limiting who can modify accommodation settings
3. Deploy WordPress security plugins with XSS detection capabilities
4. Enable WordPress security logging and monitoring for accommodation type modifications
Detection Rules:
1. Monitor POST requests to accommodation type endpoints containing <script>, javascript:, onerror=, onload= patterns
2. Alert on database queries modifying accommodation title/excerpt fields with HTML/script content
3. Track changes to accommodation type post meta containing encoded or obfuscated scripts
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تدقيق جميع إدخالات نوع الإقامة للبحث عن حقن البرامج النصية المريبة في حقول العنوان والملخص
2. مراجعة سجلات الوصول للتغييرات غير المصرح بها على أنواع الإقامة من قبل المستخدمين المصرحين
3. تنفيذ رؤوس سياسة أمان المحتوى (CSP) لتقييد تنفيذ البرامج النصية
4. تفعيل التحقق من الإدخال والترميز على حقول نوع الإقامة
إرشادات التصحيح:
1. ترقية Motopress Hotel Booking Lite إلى الإصدار 4.2.5 أو أحدث عند توفره
2. إذا لم يكن الترقية متاحة، طبق قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب (WAF) لحظر علامات البرامج النصية
3. تنفيذ تنظيف الإدخال الصارم باستخدام وظائف تنظيف WordPress
الضوابط البديلة:
1. تقييد إنشاء/تحرير نوع الإقامة للحسابات الموثوقة فقط
2. تنفيذ التحكم في الوصول القائم على الأدوار
3. نشر مكونات إضافية لأمان WordPress مع قدرات كشف XSS
4. تفعيل تسجيل ومراقبة أمان WordPress لتعديلات نوع الإقامة
قواعد الكشف:
1. مراقبة طلبات POST التي تحتوي على أنماط <script> و javascript: و onerror= و onload=
2. التنبيه على استعلامات قاعدة البيانات التي تعدل حقول العنوان/الملخص
3. تتبع التغييرات على بيانات وصفية نوع الإقامة التي تحتوي على برامج نصية مشفرة
