name: Windows Java Spawning Shells
id: 28c81306-5c47-11ec-bfea-acde48001122
version: 2
date: '2023-01-23'
author: Michael Haag, Splunk
status: experimental
type: TTP
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 EventID 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: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
names and speed up the data modeling process.
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.
