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.
