Rule Document 1:66890

Rule Category

SERVER-WEBAPP -- Snort has detected traffic exploiting vulnerabilities in web based applications on servers.

Alert Message

SERVER-WEBAPP Oracle E-Business Suite Oracle Payments Transmission servlet potential arbitrary file read attempt

Rule Explanation

This rule looks for HTTP requests targeting the Oracle Payments Transmission servlet that contain a delivery XML envelope with markers such as "", "oracle.apps.", and "FULL_FILE_PATH", and that include a path traversal pattern. Successful exploitation may allow an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem.

What To Look For

This rule fires on attempts to exploit an arbitrary file read vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite web applications.

Known Usage

Attacks/Scans seen in the wild

False Positives

Known false positives, with the described conditions

This rule may fire on legitimate attempts to read arbitrary files via the Oracle Payments Transmission servlet, and so any events should be investigated to determine maliciousness.

MITRE::ATT&CK Framework::Enterprise::Initial Access::Exploit Public-Facing Application

Adversaries may attempt to take advantage of a weakness in an Internet-facing computer or program using software, data, or commands in order to cause unintended or unanticipated behavior. The weakness in the system can be a bug, a glitch, or a design vulnerability. These applications are often websites, but can include databases (like SQL), standard services (like SMB or SSH), network device administration and management protocols (like SNMP and Smart Install), and any other applications with Internet accessible open sockets, such as web servers and related services.

Rule Vulnerability

Local File Inclusion

Local File Inclusion (LFI) attackers attempt to trick the web server into executing a file local to its own file system. The attacker might have saved the file there in another way first, or the target file could be a local executable that should not be accessible to the web server otherwise. A successful LFI can lead to data leaks or remote code execution. Avoid dynamic inclusion of user input files, or whitelist files that may be included.
