🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if SyCms version is at or before commit a242ef2d194e8bb249dc175e7c49f2c1673ec921

Check Version:

grep -r 'a242ef2d194e8bb249dc175e7c49f2c1673ec921' .git/HEAD || check commit history

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify administrative panel is disabled or replaced with alternative CMS

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual POST requests to FileManageController
  • Unexpected file uploads in upload directories
  • Administrative login from unusual IPs

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests with suspicious payloads to addPost endpoint
  • Outbound connections from webserver to unknown destinations

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin/filemanage/addpost" AND (payload="system(" OR payload="exec(" OR payload="shell_exec(")
