Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Monitor the GitHub repository for updates and apply when released.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Restrict Access to Admin Interface

all

Block external access to /admin/admin_invt2.php using web server configuration or firewall rules.

# Apache: RewriteRule ^/admin/admin_invt2\.php$ - [F]
# Nginx: location ~ ^/admin/admin_invt2\.php$ { deny all; }

Input Validation

all

Add input validation for PROTOCOLx parameter to restrict allowed values.

# Modify admin_invt2.php to validate PROTOCOLx against whitelist

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the 123solar system in a separate network segment with strict firewall rules
  • Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block requests containing suspicious file inclusion patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if /admin/admin_invt2.php exists and accepts PROTOCOLx parameter. Test with controlled file inclusion payloads in a safe environment.

Check Version:

Check 123solar version in configuration files or admin interface

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that file inclusion attempts via PROTOCOLx parameter are blocked or properly validated.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /admin/admin_invt2.php with unusual PROTOCOLx values
  • File inclusion patterns in access logs

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual file paths in HTTP parameters
  • Requests attempting to include system files

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/admin/admin_invt2.php" AND (query="*PROTOCOLx*" OR query="*file*" OR query="*include*")
