  • Monitor for unauthenticated HTTP POST requests to the /mve/upload/gfd endpoint, which corresponds to the vulnerable GfdFileUploadServlet servlet used for directory traversal file upload.
  • Detect multipart/form-data POST requests to /mve/upload/gfd on port 9788 as a strong indicator of exploitation attempts.
  • Alert on HTTP GET requests to newly uploaded JSP files on the server root following a POST to /mve/upload/gfd, indicating successful payload staging and execution.
  • Check HTTP responses from /mve/help/en/inventory/am_about.html for the string 'MarkVision Enterprise' followed by a version number to identify vulnerable instances being fingerprinted by attackers.
  • ·The exploit targets Lexmark MarkVision Enterprise versions before 2.1 only; version 2.1 and later are not affected. Fingerprinting via the version check endpoint should be used to confirm exposure.
  • ·The Metasploit module targets the Windows platform (tested on Windows 2003 SP2) with a Java architecture payload; detection rules should account for JSP webshell uploads on Windows-hosted deployments.
  • ·The default TARGETURI is '/', meaning the attack paths (/mve/upload/gfd, /mve/help/en/inventory/am_about.html) are relative to the root and may vary if the application is deployed under a non-root context path.
