name: Linux Java Spawning Shell

type: TTP
datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: The following analytic identifies the process name of Java, Apache, or Tomcat spawning a Linux shell. This is potentially indicative of exploitation of the Java application and may be related to current event CVE-2021-44228 (Log4Shell).
The shells included in the macro are "sh", "ksh", "zsh", "bash", "dash", "rbash", "fish", "csh', "tcsh', "ion", "eshell".
Upon triage, review parallel processes and command-line arguments to determine legitimacy.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.parent_process_name=java OR Processes.parent_process_name=apache OR Processes.parent_process_name=tomcat
`linux_shells` by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name Processes.process_name
Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id
| `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `linux_java_spawning_shell_filter`'
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your
endpoints. If you are using Sysmon for Linux, you will need to ensure mapping is occurring correctly.
Ensure EDR product is mapping OS Linux to the datamodel properly.
Add any additional java process names for your environment to the analytic as needed.
known_false_positives: Filtering may be required on internal developer build systems or classify assets as web facing and restrict the analytic based on that.
