  • Implement strict file type validation and size limits on all uploads

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check system version in admin panel or configuration files. If version is 7.3.2025.0408 or earlier, system is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check application configuration or admin interface for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify version has been updated beyond 7.3.2025.0408 and test file upload functionality with restricted file types.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual file uploads with executable extensions
  • Multiple failed upload attempts
  • Suspicious POST requests to upload endpoints

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from HR system
  • Traffic to known malicious IPs

SIEM Query:

source="hr-system" AND (url="*upload*" OR method="POST") AND (file_extension="php" OR file_extension="jsp" OR file_extension="exe")
