🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Isolate or disable the Employee Management System 1.0 from production environment immediately
2. Conduct emergency database backup and preserve logs from /370project/process/eprocess.php endpoint
3. Review database access logs for suspicious SQL queries or unauthorized data access attempts
4. Force password reset for all users with access to the system
5. Implement network segmentation to restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint
COMPENSATING CONTROLS (until patch available):
6. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection patterns in 'pwd' parameter:
- Block requests containing: UNION, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, EXEC, SCRIPT
- Implement strict input validation: alphanumeric only, max 20 characters
7. Enable SQL query logging and real-time alerting for suspicious patterns
8. Implement rate limiting on /370project/process/eprocess.php endpoint
9. Restrict database user permissions to minimum required privileges
10. Monitor for CVE-2026-7063 exploitation attempts using IDS/IPS signatures
DETECTION RULES:
- Alert on: pwd parameter containing SQL keywords or special characters (', ", ;, --, /*)
- Monitor for: Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by SQL error messages
- Track: Unusual database query patterns or access to sensitive employee tables
LONG-TERM:
11. Contact vendor for security patch or migrate to alternative employee management solution
12. Implement code review and security testing for all custom endpoints
13. Deploy SIEM correlation rules for SQL injection attack patterns
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. عزل أو تعطيل نظام إدارة الموظفين الإصدار 1.0 من بيئة الإنتاج فوراً
2. إجراء نسخ احتياطي طارئ للقاعدة والاحتفاظ بسجلات من نقطة النهاية /370project/process/eprocess.php
3. مراجعة سجلات الوصول إلى قاعدة البيانات للبحث عن استعلامات SQL مريبة
4. فرض إعادة تعيين كلمة المرور لجميع المستخدمين الذين لديهم وصول للنظام
5. تطبيق تقسيم الشبكة لتقييد الوصول إلى نقطة النهاية الضعيفة
الضوابط البديلة (حتى توفر التصحيح):
6. نشر قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب لحجب أنماط حقن SQL في معامل 'pwd'
7. تفعيل تسجيل استعلامات SQL والتنبيهات في الوقت الفعلي
8. تطبيق تحديد معدل على نقطة النهاية /370project/process/eprocess.php
9. تقييد صلاحيات مستخدم قاعدة البيانات للحد الأدنى المطلوب
10. مراقبة محاولات استغلال CVE-2026-7063 باستخدام توقيعات IDS/IPS
قواعد الكشف:
- تنبيه عند: احتواء معامل pwd على كلمات مفتاحية SQL أو أحرف خاصة
- مراقبة: محاولات مصادقة فاشلة متعددة متبوعة برسائل خطأ SQL
- تتبع: أنماط استعلامات قاعدة بيانات غير عادية
المدى الطويل:
11. التواصل مع المورد للحصول على تصحيح أمني أو الهجرة إلى حل بديل
12. تطبيق مراجعة الأكواد واختبار الأمان لجميع نقاط النهاية المخصصة
13. نشر قواعد ارتباط SIEM لأنماط هجمات حقن SQL
