📄 Description (English)

CTMS and CPAS developed by Sunnet has an Arbitrary File Upload vulnerability, allowing privileged remote attackers to upload and execute web shell backdoors, thereby enabling arbitrary code execution on the server.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

CVE-2026-7490 is a critical arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Sunnet's CTMS and CPAS systems that allows privileged remote attackers to upload and execute web shells, leading to complete server compromise. With a CVSS score of 7.2 and no available patch, this poses an immediate threat to organizations relying on these systems. The vulnerability requires privileged access but enables arbitrary code execution, making it a high-priority concern for Saudi enterprises.

🤖 AI Intelligence Analysis Analyzed: May 7, 2026 22:26
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
This vulnerability poses significant risk to Saudi government agencies, healthcare institutions, and private sector organizations using Sunnet's CTMS/CPAS systems. Government entities under NCA oversight and healthcare providers regulated by MOH are particularly vulnerable. Banking sector organizations and ARAMCO subsidiaries using these systems for compliance tracking or process automation face potential data breach and operational disruption. Telecom operators (STC, Mobily, Zain) managing customer data through these systems are at elevated risk. The privileged access requirement suggests insider threat or compromised admin credentials as attack vectors.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Identify all systems running Sunnet CTMS/CPAS and document their network locations and data sensitivity
2. Restrict administrative access to these systems to essential personnel only; implement principle of least privilege
3. Monitor all file upload activities on affected systems; enable detailed logging of upload operations
4. Implement network segmentation to isolate CTMS/CPAS systems from critical infrastructure
5. Review recent admin access logs for suspicious file uploads or web shell indicators

COMPENSATING CONTROLS (until patch available):
6. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block suspicious file uploads (.php, .jsp, .asp, .exe, .sh extensions)
7. Implement file integrity monitoring on web directories to detect unauthorized file creation
8. Disable file upload functionality if not operationally critical; use alternative secure methods
9. Apply strict file type validation at application level; whitelist only required file types
10. Implement code execution prevention in upload directories via web server configuration

DETECTION:
11. Monitor for POST requests to upload endpoints with suspicious file extensions
12. Alert on creation of executable files in web-accessible directories
13. Track failed authentication attempts followed by successful privileged access
14. Search logs for web shell indicators: unusual process execution from web directories, reverse shell patterns
15. Implement YARA rules for common web shell signatures in upload directories
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تحديد جميع الأنظمة التي تعمل بـ Sunnet CTMS/CPAS وتوثيق مواقعها على الشبكة وحساسية البيانات
2. تقييد الوصول الإداري لهذه الأنظمة للموظفين الأساسيين فقط؛ تطبيق مبدأ الحد الأدنى من الصلاحيات
3. مراقبة جميع أنشطة تحميل الملفات على الأنظمة المتأثرة؛ تفعيل السجلات التفصيلية لعمليات التحميل
4. تطبيق تقسيم الشبكة لعزل أنظمة CTMS/CPAS عن البنية التحتية الحرجة
5. مراجعة سجلات الوصول الإداري الأخيرة للبحث عن تحميلات ملفات مريبة أو مؤشرات أصداف الويب

الضوابط البديلة (حتى توفر التصحيح):
6. نشر قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب لحجب تحميلات الملفات المريبة (.php, .jsp, .asp, .exe, .sh)
7. تطبيق مراقبة سلامة الملفات على مجلدات الويب للكشف عن إنشاء ملفات غير مصرح به
8. تعطيل وظيفة تحميل الملفات إذا لم تكن حرجة تشغيلياً؛ استخدام طرق آمنة بديلة
9. تطبيق التحقق الصارم من نوع الملف على مستوى التطبيق؛ إدراج أنواع الملفات المطلوبة فقط
10. تطبيق منع تنفيذ الأكواد في مجلدات التحميل عبر إعدادات خادم الويب

الكشف:
11. مراقبة طلبات POST لنقاط نهاية التحميل بامتدادات ملفات مريبة
12. تنبيهات عند إنشاء ملفات قابلة للتنفيذ في مجلدات يمكن الوصول إليها عبر الويب
13. تتبع محاولات المصادقة الفاشلة متبوعة بوصول ممتلك لصلاحيات
14. البحث في السجلات عن مؤشرات أصداف الويب: تنفيذ عمليات غير عادية من مجلدات الويب، أنماط الأصداف العكسية
15. تطبيق قواعد YARA لتوقيعات أصداف الويب الشائعة في مجلدات التحميل
