  • Monitor HTTP GET requests to paths matching /links/Nova_Config_*.bck or /links/Nova_Config_*.pdb3 and /Nova/assets/Nova_Config_*.bck — unauthenticated access to these paths indicates active exploitation of the predictable backup filename vulnerability.
  • Detect authentication attempts where the password field contains a raw MD5 hash value (32-character hex string) rather than a plaintext password, indicating pass-the-hash style login abuse against the FlexAir application.
  • Alert on SQLite queries targeting the 'users' table selecting 'usrloginname' and 'usrloginpassword' columns, particularly filtering on usrid values 1 or 2 (superadmin/sysadmin), as this is the credential harvesting step used by the exploit.
  • Detect high-frequency sequential HTTP GET requests to /links/Nova_Config_<YYYY-MM-DD>.bck iterating over a date range (2017-01-01 to 2019-12-30), which is the brute-force enumeration pattern used by the exploit to find a valid backup file.
  • ·The vulnerability affects FlexAir versions 2.3.38 and prior; version 2.4 is noted as fixed. Ensure detections are scoped to unpatched deployments.
