WAF mitigation (if patching is not yet possible)
Add this rule to your WAF to block exploitation attempts while you schedule the patch.
Implement HTTP header filtering rules to block or redact responses containing sensitive server metadata (PHP version strings, DBMS identifiers, OS signatures) from the iTop application. Configure WAF rules to restrict direct URI access to iTop unless from whitelisted IP ranges.How to check if you are affected
- Step 1: Check your PHP version by running `php --version` and confirm if it falls within the range 3.1.0 to 3.1.1
- Step 2: Verify iTop installation location with `find / -name 'iTop' -type d 2>/dev/null` and check the version in the main configuration file
- Step 3: Test for information disclosure by accessing the iTop URI via browser and looking for exposed system details in HTTP responses or HTML comments
- Step 4: Confirm the patch by verifying PHP version is 3.1.2 or later and review the changelog in `CHANGELOG.md` within the iTop installation directory
