Verify that file inclusion attempts are properly blocked and return appropriate error messages.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual file path patterns in access logs
- Multiple failed attempts to access /REPORTS/REPORTS_SHOW_FILE.jsp
- Access to sensitive system files from web requests
Network Indicators:
- Unusual traffic patterns to the reports endpoint
- Requests with suspicious file path parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/REPORTS/REPORTS_SHOW_FILE.jsp" AND (parameter="FilePath" AND value CONTAINS "../" OR value CONTAINS "/etc/" OR value CONTAINS "/proc/")
