Tomcat

This brief details a behavioral detection strategy for identifying potential web shell deployment and persistence mechanisms by monitoring anomalous file creation activities originating from common web server processes on Linux.

This rule detects unusual child process executions originating from web server processes on Linux systems, which attackers may use to maintain persistence on a compromised system by exploiting web server vulnerabilities.

Identifies suspicious command executions via a web server on Linux systems, which may suggest a vulnerability and remote shell access.

A remote, anonymous attacker can exploit a vulnerability in Apache Tomcat to bypass security measures.

OpenMRS Core versions 2.7.8 and earlier, as well as versions 2.8.0 through 2.8.5, contain a path traversal vulnerability in the ModuleResourcesServlet, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem by manipulating the URL.
