What if my installation has been compromised?
To verify if your installation has been affected, follow these steps below

  1. Navigate to <ManageEngine_Installation_Directory>/logs
  2. Open the file access_log_<Date>.txt
  3. Search for the keyword /xmlrpc in the text file. If it is present, then your installation is affected.

What should you do if your installation has been compromised

  1. Disconnect and isolate the compromised machine.
  2. Create a zip file containing all the application logs, and send them to product support depending on which one has been compromised

PAM360: pam360-support@manageengine.com
Password Manager Plus: passwordmanagerpro-support@manageengine.com

Important Note: Don’t forget to make a backup of your installation folder before you upgrade and keep the backup in a separate location. If anything goes wrong, you will have this copy as a backup which will keep all your settings intact. If you’re using an MS SQL server as the back-end database, back up the application database before upgrading. Once the upgrade is successfully completed, remember to delete the backup.
