|
description: The following analytic identifies the process name of java.exe and w3wp.exe
|
|
spawning a Windows 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 "cmd.exe", "powershell.exe". Upon triage, review
|
|
parallel processes and command-line arguments to determine legitimacy.
|
|
data_source:
|
|
- Sysmon Event ID 1
|
|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
|
|
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.parent_process_name=java.exe
|
|
OR Processes.parent_process_name=w3wp.exe `windows_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)` | `windows_java_spawning_shells_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. Restrict the analytic to publicly facing endpoints to reduce false positives.
|
|
Add any additional identified web application process name to the query. Add any
|
|
further Windows process names to the macro (ex. LOLBins) to further expand this
|
|
query.
|
|
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.
