WAF rule implementation
allImplement WAF rules to detect and block template injection attempts
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate affected systems in a segmented network zone with strict access controls
- Implement application-level monitoring and alerting for suspicious requests to the vulnerable endpoint
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if ADP Application Developer Platform version 1.0.0 is installed and accessibleCheck Version:
Check application configuration files or admin interface for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test if the /adpweb/a/ica/api/service/rfa/testService endpoint is no longer accessible or properly sanitizes input📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual requests to /adpweb/a/ica/api/service/rfa/testService
- Template engine error messages
- Unexpected process execution
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing template injection payloads to the vulnerable endpoint
- Outbound connections from ADP platform to suspicious IPs
