Citrix ShareFile Exploitation CVE-2023-24489

Original Source: [splunk source]
Name:Citrix ShareFile Exploitation CVE-2023-24489
id:172c59f2-5fae-45e5-8e51-94445143e93f
version:3
date:2024-10-17
author:Michael Haag, Splunk
status:production
type:Hunting
Description:The following analytic detects potentially malicious file upload attempts to Citrix ShareFile via specific suspicious URLs and the HTTP POST method. It leverages the Web datamodel to identify URL patterns such as "/documentum/upload.aspx?parentid=", "/documentum/upload.aspx?filename=", and "/documentum/upload.aspx?uploadId=*", combined with the HTTP POST method. This activity is significant for a SOC as it may indicate an attempt to upload harmful scripts or content, potentially compromising the Documentum application. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and operational disruptions.
Data_source:
  • -Suricata
search:| tstats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Web where Web.url="/documentum/upload.aspx?*" AND Web.url IN ("*parentid=*","*filename=*","*uploadId=*") AND Web.url IN ("*unzip=*", "*raw=*") Web.http_method=POST by Web.http_user_agent, Web.status Web.http_method, Web.url, Web.url_length, Web.src, Web.dest, sourcetype
| `drop_dm_object_name("Web")`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`| `citrix_sharefile_exploitation_cve_2023_24489_filter`


how_to_implement:Dependent upon the placement of the ShareFile application, ensure the latest Technology Add-On is eneabled. This detection requires the Web datamodel to be populated from a supported Technology Add-On like Suricata, Splunk for Apache, Splunk for Nginx, or Splunk for Palo Alto. The ShareFile application is IIS based, therefore ingesting IIS logs and reviewing for the same pattern would identify this activity, successful or not.
known_false_positives:False positives may be present, filtering may be needed. Also, restricting to known web servers running IIS or ShareFile will change this from Hunting to TTP.
