🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Immediate Actions:
1. Identify all instances of uBidAuction 2.0.1 in your environment and document their exposure level
2. Restrict access to the backend/mailingLog/manage module to trusted IP ranges only
3. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block requests containing script tags in date parameters (date_created, date_from, date_to, created_at)
4. Monitor access logs for suspicious patterns in mailing log queries
Compensating Controls:
5. Apply input validation: enforce strict date format validation (YYYY-MM-DD) and reject any requests with HTML/JavaScript characters
6. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to prevent inline script execution
7. Enable HTTP-only and Secure flags on session cookies
8. Conduct security code review of the filter functionality and apply manual sanitization patches if vendor support unavailable
Detection Rules:
9. Alert on GET requests to /backend/mailingLog/manage containing: <script, javascript:, onerror=, onload=, or encoded variants
10. Monitor for unusual administrative access patterns to mailing log module
11. Track failed authentication attempts following mailing log access
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. حدد جميع نسخ uBidAuction 2.0.1 في بيئتك وتوثيق مستوى تعرضها
2. قيد الوصول إلى وحدة backend/mailingLog/manage على نطاقات IP موثوقة فقط
3. طبق قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب (WAF) لحجب الطلبات التي تحتوي على علامات نصية برمجية في معاملات التاريخ
4. راقب سجلات الوصول للأنماط المريبة في استعلامات سجل البريد
الضوابط البديلة:
5. طبق التحقق من الإدخال: فرض التحقق الصارم من صيغة التاريخ (YYYY-MM-DD) ورفض أي طلبات تحتوي على أحرف HTML/JavaScript
6. طبق رؤوس سياسة أمان المحتوى (CSP) لمنع تنفيذ النصوص البرمجية المضمنة
7. فعّل أعلام HTTP-only و Secure على ملفات تعريف الارتباط للجلسة
8. أجرِ مراجعة أمان الكود لوظيفة التصفية وطبق تصحيحات التعقيم اليدوية إذا لم يكن دعم البائع متاحاً
قواعد الكشف:
9. أصدر تنبيهات على طلبات GET إلى /backend/mailingLog/manage التي تحتوي على: <script أو javascript: أو onerror= أو onload= أو متغيرات مشفرة
10. راقب أنماط الوصول الإداري غير العادية إلى وحدة سجل البريد
11. تتبع محاولات المصادقة الفاشلة التي تتبع الوصول إلى سجل البريد
