The following analytic identifies unusually long strings in the Content-Type HTTP header sent by the client to the server. It uses data from the Stream:HTTP source, specifically evaluating the length of the `cs_content_type` field. This activity is significant because excessively long Content-Type headers can indicate attempts to exploit vulnerabilities or evade detection mechanisms. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could allow attackers to execute code, manipulate data, or bypass security controls, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data breaches.

The following analytic identifies URL requests associated with CVE-2022-22965 (Spring4Shell) exploitation attempts, specifically targeting webshell access on a remote webserver. It detects HTTP GET requests with URLs containing ".jsp?cmd=" or "j&cmd=" patterns. This activity is significant as it indicates potential webshell deployment, which can lead to unauthorized remote command execution. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain control over the webserver, execute arbitrary commands, and potentially escalate privileges, leading to severe data breaches and system compromise.

This analytic detects potential exploitation attempts against VMWare vRealize Network Insight, specifically targeting the CVE-2023-20887 vulnerability. It monitors web traffic for HTTP POST requests directed at the vulnerable endpoint "/saas./resttosaasservlet." Identifying this behavior is crucial for a SOC as it indicates an active exploit attempt. If confirmed malicious, the attacker could execute arbitrary code, leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or further network compromise.

This rule detects exploitation attempts against the Log4j RCE vulnerability, also known as Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228). It looks for various JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) lookup patterns, including LDAP, RMI, LDAPS, DNS, NIS, NDS, CORBA, and IIOP, as well as obfuscated forms of these patterns, which are commonly used to trigger the vulnerability. The rule specifically filters out known vulnerability scanning traffic from Nessus to reduce false positives.

This rule detects attempts to execute common Windows operating system commands via HTTP GET requests, which is a common characteristic of web shell activity. The rule specifically looks for URL-encoded versions of commands like 'whoami', 'net user', 'cmd /c', 'powershell', 'tasklist', 'wmic', 'ssh', 'python', 'ipconfig', 'wget', 'curl', 'certutil', 'copy \\', 'dsquery', and 'nltest'. These commands are often used by attackers to gain information about the compromised system, escalate privileges, or establish further persistence after deploying a web shell.
