🔍 Indicators of Compromise (IOC)

If you manage SLiMS, look out for the following:

• Suspicious folders in /plugins/
• Foreign PHP files inside plugin folders
• Plugin upload logs from accounts with weak passwords
• Unusual file activity after uploading a .zip file
• Suspicious requests to: /plugins//something.php

🛡️ Mitigation & Recommendations

1. Update SLiMS to the latest version or available security patch.
2. Change admin/user passwords to strong standards (CISA.gov guidelines).
3. Disable plugin upload if not in use.
4. Monitor the /plugins/ directory and remove unknown files.
5. Audit admin logs to detect unauthorized uploads.
6. Isolate the system if suspected compromised.
7. Restore from a backup taken before the incident.
