Installation

zkg install https://github.com/corelight/CVE-2021-41773/

Use against a pcap you already have
zeek -Cr scripts/__load__.zeek your.pcap

Options and notes:

  • This package will run in clustered or non clustered environments.

  • To assist with IR triage of PATH_TRAVERSAL_IS_VULNERABLE notices, the 'sub' field will include the following data:

    • The first 'http_body_analysis_byte_depth' in the notice for POST requests. Set this to a high number to collect all of the payload - the default of 1000 should be high enough to capture data required for triage. To change the amount of data included:
global http_body_analysis_byte_depth: count = 1000;
  • HTTP SERVER header value, for confirmation of Server version.
  • The original URI, with all encodings present (prior to any decoding). Note by default, Zeek populates http.log with the DECODED version of the URI, not the originally sent version.
  • Example Notice
