null Apache ActiveMQ Flaw Exploited in New Godzilla Web Shell Attacks

🚨 Urgent Cybersecurity Alert! 🚨 A critical flaw (CVE-2023-46604, CVSS score: 10.0) in Apache ActiveMQ has been actively exploited by threat actors. 🛑 Ensure your systems are protected!

🛡️ Vulnerability Overview: The flaw enables remote code execution, putting compromised hosts at risk of ransomware, rootkits, cryptocurrency miners, and DDoS attacks. 🌐 Update to the latest ActiveMQ version ASAP to stay secure.

🦠 Threat Actor Tactics: Recent incidents show a surge in exploiting this flaw to deploy the Godzilla web shell, concealed within an unknown binary format. 😱 The JSP engine in ActiveMQ still compiles and executes this web shell, evading traditional scanners.

🔍 Web Shell Insight: Named Godzilla, this backdoor is sophisticated, parsing HTTP POST requests, executing content, and returning results in an HTTP response. 🚀 Notably, its JSP code is hidden within an unknown binary, enhancing evasion capabilities.

🕵️‍♂️ Attack Chain Breakdown: The attack involves planting JSP-based web shells in the "admin" folder of ActiveMQ. The code is then converted into Java before execution by the Jetty Servlet Engine. 🔄 Thorough examination reveals a potential to bypass security measures.

🛑 Mitigation Steps: Users of Apache ActiveMQ, take action now! Update to the latest version to thwart potential threats. 🚨 Stay vigilant, implement best practices, and report any suspicious activity.
