  • Look for HTTP requests containing the JSF resource handler path segment 'javax.faces.resource' combined with path traversal sequences ('../' or '..') targeting WEB-INF/web.xml. Two distinct traversal patterns exist: (1) dot-dot in the resource path segment itself, and (2) use of the 'ln=..' or 'loc=../WEB-INF' query parameters.
  • The Emerging Threats Snort rule (SID 2017611) detects this attack by matching HTTP URI containing '/WEB-INF/web.xml' (case-insensitive) AND the raw URI containing the URL-encoded '../' sequence (bytes 2e 2e 2f). Deploy or tune this rule on perimeter and internal sensors.
  • The vulnerability exists in Mojarra JSF2 versions 2.0 through 2.1.18 (fixed in 2.1.19). Fingerprint the Mojarra version in server responses or manifests to identify unpatched instances.
  • Shodan/FOFA queries can identify exposed WebLogic instances as potential targets: search for http.title:'weblogic' or body containing 'weblogic application server'.
  • ·The nuclei template uses 10 distinct payload paths covering multiple application context roots (costModule, faces, secureader, myaccount, SupportPortlet). Detections scoped only to '/faces/' will miss traversal attempts against other context roots.
