# Confluence and WebLogic servers targeted by campaign

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, *Confluence and WebLogic abuse*.

2019 has seen several seemingly related campaigns targeting Atlassian Confluence Server and Oracle WebLogic Server. Although these campaigns use different implants and delivery methods, they consistently use the same infrastructure, and exploit the same vulnerabilities.

The campaigns have specifically targeted:

* [CVE-2019-3396](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-3396) - [Software update](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-57974)
* [CVE-2019-2725](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-2725) - [Software update](https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/alert-cve-2019-2725.html)

The following query detects activity broadly associated with these campaigns.

## Query

// "Grandparent" process is Oracle WebLogic or some process loading Confluence
InitiatingProcessParentFileName == "beasvc.exe" or
InitiatingProcessFileName == "beasvc.exe"
or InitiatingProcessCommandLine contains "//confluence"
// Calculate for Base64 in Commandline
| extend Caps = countof(ProcessCommandLine, "[A-Z]", "regex"),
Total = countof(ProcessCommandLine, ".", "regex")
| extend Ratio = todouble(Caps) / todouble(Total)
| where
(
FileName in~ ("powershell.exe" , "powershell_ise.exe") // PowerShell is spawned
// Omit known clean processes
and ProcessCommandLine !startswith "POWERSHELL.EXE -C \"GET-WMIOBJECT -COMPUTERNAME"
and ProcessCommandLine !contains "ApplicationNo"
and ProcessCommandLine !contains "CustomerGroup"
and ProcessCommandLine !contains "Cosmos"
and ProcessCommandLine !contains "Unrestricted"
and
(
ProcessCommandLine contains "$" // PowerShell variable declaration
or ProcessCommandLine contains "-e " // Alias for "-EncodedCommand" parameter
or ProcessCommandLine contains "encodedcommand"
or ProcessCommandLine contains "wget"
//or ( Ratio > 0.4 and Ratio < 1.0) // Presence of Base64 strings
)
)
or
(

and ProcessCommandLine contains "@echo" and
ProcessCommandLine contains ">" // Echoing commands into a file
)
or
(
FileName =~ "certutil.exe" // CertUtil.exe abuse
and ProcessCommandLine contains "-split"
// the "-split" parameter is required to write files to the disk
