🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Immediately update ZKTeco BioTime to the latest patched version. Implement network segmentation to restrict access to the iclock API endpoint. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block path traversal patterns. Monitor and audit access logs for suspicious file access attempts. Disable the iclock API if not required for operations.
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
قم بتحديث ZKTeco BioTime فوراً إلى أحدث إصدار مصحح. طبق تقسيم الشبكة لتقييد الوصول إلى نقطة نهاية iclock API. استخدم جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب (WAF) لحجب أنماط path traversal. راقب سجلات الوصول للكشف عن محاولات وصول مريبة. عطل واجهة iclock API إذا لم تكن مطلوبة.
