🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if system is running WukongCRM-11.0-JAVA v11.3.3 and has /adminUser/updateImg endpoint accessible
Check Version:
Check application version in web interface or configuration files
Verify Fix Applied:
Test if file upload to /adminUser/updateImg endpoint is properly restricted and validated
📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple POST requests to /adminUser/updateImg with unusual file extensions
- File uploads with executable extensions (.jsp, .war, .php)
Network Indicators:
- Unusual outbound connections from WukongCRM server
- Traffic patterns indicating webshell communication
SIEM Query:
source="wukongcrm" AND (url_path="/adminUser/updateImg" OR file_extension IN ("jsp", "war", "php"))
