* Add YAML formatting and validation infrastructure

- Add yamlfmt configuration (.yamlfmt) with 4-space indent, LF line endings
- Add yamllint configuration (.yamllint) for syntax validation (detections/ only)
- Add pre-commit hook for automatic YAML formatting
- Add CI validation script with unified error output
- Add GitHub Actions workflow for PR validation
- Add documentation for setup and usage
- Support custom yamlfmt binary path via --yamlfmt-path flag

* comment yaml check from pre-commit

* apply yamlfmt

* Update yaml-validation.yml

* Update yaml-validation.yml

* application folder search formatting

* cloud folder search formatting

* web folder search formatting

* network folder search formatting

* endpoint folder search formatting

* resolve first conflict

name: Web Spring4Shell HTTP Request Class Module
id: fcdfd69d-0ca3-4476-920e-9b633cb4593e
version: 6
date: '2026-02-25'
author: Michael Haag, Splunk
status: production
type: TTP
description: The following analytic detects HTTP requests containing payloads related to the Spring4Shell vulnerability (CVE-2022-22965). It leverages Splunk Stream HTTP data to inspect the HTTP request body and form data for specific fields such as "class.module.classLoader.resources.context.parent.pipeline.first". This activity is significant as it indicates an attempt to exploit a critical vulnerability in Spring Framework, potentially leading to remote code execution. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access, execute arbitrary code, and compromise the affected system.
data_source:
- Splunk Stream HTTP
search: |-
`stream_http` http_method IN ("POST")
| stats values(form_data) as http_request_body min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime count
BY src dest http_method
http_user_agent uri_path url
bytes_in bytes_out
| search http_request_body IN ("*class.module.classLoader.resources.context.parent.pipeline.first.fileDateFormat=_*", "*class.module.classLoader.resources.context.parent.pipeline.first.pattern*","*suffix=.jsp*")
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `web_spring4shell_http_request_class_module_filter`
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting logs with the stream HTTP logs or network logs that catch network traffic. Make sure that the http-request-body, payload, or request field is enabled.
known_false_positives: False positives may occur and filtering may be required. Restrict analytic to asset type.
