Apache Axis2, as used in dswsbobje.war in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.2, CA ARCserve D2D r15, and other products, has a default password of axis2 for the admin account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a crafted web service.

  • →Detect successful Axis2 admin login by matching response body for the string 'Welcome to Axis2 Web Admin Module !!' ↗
  • →Monitor for POST requests to /axis2-admin/login or /axis2/axis2-admin/login with credentials admin:axis2 (default credential abuse) ↗
  • →Monitor for multipart/form-data POST uploads to /axis2-admin/upload paths, which is the mechanism used to deploy malicious .aar web service files ↗
  • →Alert on HTTP GET requests to /axis2/services/<random_name>/run after an upload, indicating payload execution polling ↗
  • →Use Shodan/FOFA queries to identify exposed Axis2 instances: http.html:"Apache Axis" or body="apache axis" ↗
  • →On CA ARCserve D2D hosts, check for world-accessible Axis2 on port 8014 with firewall exception; the port is added to firewall exceptions allowing internet access ↗
  • →Inspect axis2.xml for default credentials: look for admin/axis2 entries indicating unpatched default configuration ↗
  • →Detect SOAP-based payload execution: monitor POST requests to /axis2/services/<name> with SOAPAction header containing 'http://session.dsws.businessobjects.com/2007/06/01/run' ↗
  • ·The SAP BusinessObjects path uses /dswsbobje instead of /axis2 as the Axis2 app root; detection rules must account for both paths ↗
  • ·HP Universal CMDB uses an additional HTTP Basic Auth layer on top of Axis2 with default credentials admin/admin, requiring a two-stage authentication check ↗
