🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Identify all installations of Substance 3D Painter versions 11.0.3 and earlier across your organization using asset management tools
2. Restrict user access to Substance 3D Painter until patching is complete
3. Issue security alert to all users warning against opening files from untrusted sources
4. Review recent file access logs for suspicious .spp or project files
PATCHING GUIDANCE:
1. Download the latest patched version (12.0 or later) from Adobe's official portal
2. Deploy patches through your software management system (SCCM, Jamf, etc.)
3. Prioritize workstations with internet-facing roles or those handling external files
4. Test patches in non-production environment first
5. Verify patch installation with: Help > About Substance 3D Painter
COMPENSATING CONTROLS (if immediate patching not possible):
1. Disable file associations for Substance 3D Painter project files
2. Implement application whitelisting to prevent unauthorized code execution
3. Use endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to monitor for suspicious process behavior
4. Restrict file sharing and email attachments containing .spp files
5. Implement network segmentation for design workstations
DETECTION RULES:
1. Monitor for Substance3D Painter process spawning child processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, rundll32.exe)
2. Alert on unusual memory access patterns or heap corruption indicators
3. Track file modifications in user temp directories during Substance3D Painter execution
4. Monitor for network connections initiated by Substance3D Painter to non-standard ports
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تحديد جميع تثبيتات Substance 3D Painter الإصدارات 11.0.3 والأقدم عبر أدوات إدارة الأصول
2. تقييد وصول المستخدمين إلى Substance 3D Painter حتى اكتمال التصحيح
3. إصدار تنبيه أمني لجميع المستخدمين بعدم فتح الملفات من مصادر غير موثوقة
4. مراجعة سجلات الوصول للملفات الحديثة للملفات المريبة
إرشادات التصحيح:
1. تحميل أحدث إصدار مصحح (12.0 أو أحدث) من بوابة Adobe الرسمية
2. نشر التصحيحات عبر نظام إدارة البرامج
3. إعطاء الأولوية لمحطات العمل ذات الأدوار المواجهة للإنترنت
4. اختبار التصحيحات في بيئة غير الإنتاج أولاً
5. التحقق من تثبيت التصحيح
الضوابط البديلة:
1. تعطيل ارتباطات الملفات لملفات مشاريع Substance 3D Painter
2. تطبيق قائمة بيضاء للتطبيقات
3. استخدام أدوات كشف ومعالجة نقاط النهاية
4. تقييد مشاركة الملفات والمرفقات البريدية
5. تطبيق تقسيم الشبكة لمحطات التصميم
قواعد الكشف:
1. مراقبة عمليات Substance3D Painter التي تولد عمليات فرعية
2. تنبيهات على أنماط الوصول غير العادية للذاكرة
3. تتبع تعديلات الملفات في مجلدات المستخدم المؤقتة
4. مراقبة الاتصالات الشبكية غير القياسية
