🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Identify all systems running Pixa Bank 2.0 and isolate them from external network access immediately
2. Implement network segmentation to restrict access to agence-ajax.php endpoint
3. Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring of all POST requests to agence-ajax.php
4. Conduct emergency database audit to identify if exploitation has occurred
COMPENSATING CONTROLS (until patch available):
1. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection patterns in 'rib' parameter
2. Implement input validation and parameterized queries at application layer
3. Apply rate limiting and IP-based access controls to agence-ajax.php
4. Enable database activity monitoring (DAM) to detect suspicious queries
5. Restrict database user privileges to minimum required permissions
DETECTION RULES:
1. Monitor for POST requests containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, WHERE) in 'rib' parameter
2. Alert on multiple failed database queries from single source IP
3. Track unusual data extraction patterns from customer tables
4. Monitor for encoded SQL injection attempts (hex, base64, URL encoding)
PATCHING:
1. Contact Pixa Bank vendor immediately for emergency security patch
2. Prepare isolated test environment for patch validation
3. Develop rollback procedures before applying patches to production
