Check application configuration or admin panel for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is after 06.7.22 and test file upload functionality with restricted file types.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual file uploads to documentary proof modules
- Files with web shell extensions (.php, .jsp, .asp) being uploaded
- Multiple failed upload attempts with suspicious filenames
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to upload endpoints with unusual file types
- Subsequent connections to uploaded files from external IPs
