🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Identify all C&Cm@il instances in your environment and document their network locations
2. Implement network segmentation to restrict access to C&Cm@il servers from untrusted networks
3. Enable Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests
4. Monitor database access logs for suspicious SQL queries and unauthorized data extraction attempts
PATCHING GUIDANCE:
1. Apply the available patch from HGiga immediately to all C&Cm@il instances
2. Test patches in a non-production environment first
3. Schedule patching during maintenance windows with minimal business impact
4. Verify patch application by checking version numbers and running vulnerability scans
COMPENSATING CONTROLS (if patching delayed):
1. Implement input validation and parameterized queries at the application layer
2. Restrict database user privileges to minimum required permissions
3. Enable database activity monitoring and alerting
4. Implement rate limiting on API endpoints
DETECTION RULES:
1. Monitor for SQL keywords in HTTP parameters (SELECT, UNION, DROP, INSERT, UPDATE)
2. Alert on unusual database query patterns or high-volume data extraction
3. Track failed authentication attempts followed by SQL injection attempts
4. Monitor for database error messages in HTTP responses
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تحديد جميع نسخ C&Cm@il في بيئتك وتوثيق مواقعها على الشبكة
2. تنفيذ تقسيم الشبكة لتقييد الوصول إلى خوادم C&Cm@il من الشبكات غير الموثوقة
3. تفعيل قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب لحجب أنماط حقن SQL في طلبات HTTP
4. مراقبة سجلات الوصول إلى قاعدة البيانات للبحث عن استعلامات SQL المريبة ومحاولات استخراج البيانات غير المصرح بها
إرشادات التصحيح:
1. تطبيق التصحيح المتاح من HGiga فوراً على جميع نسخ C&Cm@il
2. اختبار التصحيحات في بيئة غير إنتاجية أولاً
3. جدولة التصحيح خلال نوافذ الصيانة بأقل تأثير على العمل
4. التحقق من تطبيق التصحيح بفحص أرقام الإصدارات وتشغيل فحوصات الثغرات
الضوابط البديلة (إذا تأخر التصحيح):
1. تنفيذ التحقق من صحة المدخلات والاستعلامات المعاملة على مستوى التطبيق
2. تقييد امتيازات مستخدم قاعدة البيانات للحد الأدنى المطلوب
3. تفعيل مراقبة نشاط قاعدة البيانات والتنبيهات
4. تنفيذ تحديد معدل على نقاط نهاية API
قواعد الكشف:
1. مراقبة كلمات SQL الرئيسية في معاملات HTTP (SELECT, UNION, DROP, INSERT, UPDATE)
2. التنبيه على أنماط استعلامات قاعدة البيانات غير العادية أو استخراج البيانات بحجم كبير
3. تتبع محاولات المصادقة الفاشلة متبوعة بمحاولات حقن SQL
4. مراقبة رسائل خطأ قاعدة البيانات في استجابات HTTP
