Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

path/DATA/↗

→Monitor HTTP requests containing '/DATA/' in the URL path targeting RichFaces endpoints, which indicates attempted EL injection via Paint2DResource$ImageData deserialization. ↗
→Focus detection on the class org.richfaces.renderkit.html.Paint2DResource as the injection point for arbitrary EL expression execution. ↗
→No authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability; treat any unauthenticated request with '/DATA/' in the path to RichFaces resources as high-priority alert. ↗

·Affected versions are RichFaces 3.1.0 through 3.3.4 only; versions outside this range (including RichFaces 4.x) are not covered by this CVE. ↗
·Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6 and Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 are listed as 'Not affected'; do not apply detections expecting vulnerable behavior on those platforms. ↗
