Instruction: Remove or quarantine any malicious scripts or code found during malware scanning across all SayPro digital platforms.

🔹 Purpose of This Task

To ensure the complete removal of identified threats from SayPro systems while maintaining the stability and integrity of operational code and content. This process is essential to protect user data, preserve system functionality, and maintain trust in SayPro’s digital services.

🔹 Systems in Scope

• SayPro eLearning Portal
• SayPro Mobile Applications
• SayPro CMS Platforms (e.g., WordPress, Joomla)
• SayPro Custom Applications and APIs

🔹 Step-by-Step Malware Removal & Quarantine Process

1. Isolate the Infected Environment

• Immediately restrict access to affected files/folders.
• Place the affected domain or system in maintenance mode (if required).
• Disable related plugins or scripts temporarily.

2. Identify Malicious Code or Scripts

• Use malware scanners (e.g., Sucuri, Wordfence, MobSF, ClamAV) to detect:
  • JavaScript or PHP injection scripts
  • Encoded base64 payloads
  • Rogue iframe or redirect tags
  • Shells (e.g., C99, r57) or backdoor code
• Log:
  • File paths
  • Script content samples
  • Timestamps and suspected origin

3. Remove or Quarantine the Code

• Manual Removal:
  • Open infected files and remove only the malicious sections.
  • Restore original scripts from backup if available.
• Quarantine:
  • Move infected scripts into a secure, isolated quarantine folder on a non-public directory.
  • Change file permissions to 000 or delete executable rights to neutralize code.
  • Log file hashes and rename files (e.g., .malware.js.disabled).

4. Verify Removal

• Run a second full-system scan to ensure no further traces remain.
• Check for reinfections or replicated scripts in other directories.
• Use integrity verification tools to compare before/after states.

5. Patch and Secure

• Apply necessary updates to:
  • CMS core files
  • Plugins and extensions
  • Custom code with vulnerabilities
• Add security rules (e.g., .htaccess restrictions, WAF rules) to prevent repeat intrusions.

6. Document the Action

  • ✅ SayPro Threat Remediation Report (TRR)
  • ✅ SayPro Malware-Free System Declaration
  • ✅ SayPro Malware Activity Log Template
• Include:
  • Description of malware
