🇸🇦 التأثير على المملكة العربية السعودية
This vulnerability primarily impacts Saudi organizations in the banking, government, and healthcare sectors that deploy Acer Backup Manager for data protection. Saudi financial institutions regulated by SAMA, government agencies under NCA oversight, and healthcare providers managing sensitive patient data are at elevated risk. The vulnerability is particularly concerning for organizations with shared workstations or multi-user environments common in Saudi enterprises. Energy sector organizations (ARAMCO subsidiaries) and telecommunications providers (STC, Mobily) using this backup solution could face data exfiltration or system compromise risks.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Immediate Actions:
1. Identify all systems running Acer Backup Manager 3.0.0.99 across your organization
2. Restrict local user access to affected systems where possible
3. Implement file integrity monitoring on C:\Program Files (x86)\NTI\Acer Backup Manager\ directory
Patching Guidance:
1. Upgrade Acer Backup Manager to version 3.0.1.0 or later immediately
2. Verify the service path is properly quoted after upgrade
3. Restart the NTI IScheduleSvc service post-upgrade
Compensating Controls (if immediate patching not possible):
1. Implement NTFS permissions restricting write access to the service directory to Administrators only
2. Deploy AppLocker rules to prevent unauthorized executable execution in the service path
3. Enable Windows Defender Application Guard for vulnerable systems
4. Monitor service creation and modification events
Detection Rules:
1. Monitor Event ID 7045 (Service Installation) for NTI IScheduleSvc modifications
2. Alert on file creation/modification in C:\Program Files (x86)\NTI\Acer Backup Manager\ by non-admin users
3. Monitor process execution with parent process NTI IScheduleSvc
4. Track registry modifications to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTI IScheduleSvc
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تحديد جميع الأنظمة التي تقوم بتشغيل Acer Backup Manager 3.0.0.99 عبر مؤسستك
2. تقييد وصول المستخدمين المحليين إلى الأنظمة المتأثرة حيثما أمكن
3. تنفيذ مراقبة سلامة الملفات على دليل C:\Program Files (x86)\NTI\Acer Backup Manager\
إرشادات التصحيح:
1. ترقية Acer Backup Manager إلى الإصدار 3.0.1.0 أو أحدث فوراً
2. التحقق من أن مسار الخدمة مقتبس بشكل صحيح بعد الترقية
3. إعادة تشغيل خدمة NTI IScheduleSvc بعد الترقية
الضوابط البديلة (إذا لم يكن التصحيح الفوري ممكناً):
1. تنفيذ أذونات NTFS تقيد الوصول للكتابة إلى دليل الخدمة للمسؤولين فقط
2. نشر قواعد AppLocker لمنع تنفيذ الملفات التنفيذية غير المصرح بها في مسار الخدمة
3. تفعيل Windows Defender Application Guard للأنظمة الضعيفة
4. مراقبة أحداث إنشاء وتعديل الخدمة
قواعد الكشف:
1. مراقبة معرف الحدث 7045 (تثبيت الخدمة) لتعديلات NTI IScheduleSvc
2. التنبيه عند إنشاء/تعديل الملفات في C:\Program Files (x86)\NTI\Acer Backup Manager\ بواسطة مستخدمين غير إداريين
3. مراقبة تنفيذ العملية مع عملية الوالد NTI IScheduleSvc
4. تتبع تعديلات السجل إلى HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTI IScheduleSvc
