Oracle DP JSP Shell

This JSP shell provides the attacker with various functions to compromise a target system. These functions include connecting to an Oracle database and executing queries. An attacker can execute OS and OracleDB commands via an HTTP request. The parameters needed to create a successful request can be present in both the URI and HTTP client body.

Exploitation

Stages

1. An attacker uploads a JSP shell to a target server via a vulnerability or misconfigured application.
2. The server responds indicating a successful upload.
3. The attacker acts upon objectives by utilizing the shell’s functionality.

Prerequisites

The attacker must have exploited some other entry vector to allow the malicious files to become resident on the victim server.
