🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /admin/weixin.php exists and is accessible without authentication. Review Seacms version in admin panel or configuration files.Check Version:
Check config files or admin panel. For Linux: grep -r 'version' /path/to/seacms/ | grep -i '11.6'Verify Fix Applied:
Verify the Seacms version is v11.7 or later. Test that /admin/weixin.php is either removed or properly secured.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual POST requests to /admin/weixin.php
- Web server errors containing PHP execution attempts
- File creation/modification in web directories
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /admin/weixin.php with suspicious parameters
- Outbound connections from web server to unknown IPs
SIEM Query:
source="web_server" AND (uri="/admin/weixin.php" OR uri CONTAINS "weixin.php")
