port8080
  • Detect POST requests to /rtrlet/catch with multipart/form-data content type, which is the upload endpoint abused by the CatchFileServlet path traversal exploit.
  • Filter on the Apache-Coyote server banner to scope detection to vulnerable Novell ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 instances running on Tomcat.
  • Path traversal depth of 3 directory levels is used to reach the Tomcat webapps directory; look for '../../../' sequences in multipart upload filenames targeting /rtrlet/catch.
  • ·The uploaded WAR file's app name and JSP name are randomly generated alphanumeric strings, so static filename-based detection is not reliable; focus on the upload endpoint and subsequent JSP execution pattern instead.
  • ·The multipart boundary is also randomized per request, preventing static boundary-string matching; detection should key on the URI /rtrlet/catch combined with multipart/form-data and WAR file content.
