  • Monitor network traffic for anomalous TCP packets targeting the service port.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if JOBMANAGER.EXE version 2.10.24.16 is running and accessible over the network.

Check Version:

Check file properties of JOBMANAGER.EXE or use system documentation to confirm version.

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify the service is no longer accessible from unauthorized networks or has been updated to a patched version.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Failed authentication attempts followed by successful administrative access
  • Unusual process creation by JOBMANAGER.EXE

Network Indicators:

  • TCP packets with unusual payloads sent to JOBMANAGER.EXE service port
  • Network connections from unexpected sources to the service

SIEM Query:

source="network" dest_port=<jobmanager_port> AND payload_size>normal AND action="allow"
