Apache ActiveMQ Vulnerability Leads to Stealthy Godzilla Webshell
Trustwave has observed a surge in attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in Apache ActiveMQ hosts. In certain cases, these host malicious Java Server Pages (JSP) web shells. The web shells are concealed within an unknown binary format and are designed to evade security and signature-based scanners. Notably, despite the binary's unknown file format, ActiveMQ's JSP engine continues to compile and execute the web shell.
