Proof of Concept video: CVE-2018-2894 Oracle WebLogic RCE

A recently identified vulnerability in Oracle WebLogic Server allows for unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) through its Web Services (WLS) subcomponent, particularly affecting the path /ws_utc/config.do on port 7001, which is accessible without authentication in development mode. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must set a writable Work Home Dir and upload Java Server Pages (JSP) files via the Security tab, enabling them to execute code remotely. Although the vulnerability requires the server to be in development mode, which limits its exposure, WebLogic servers are easily identifiable and numerous instances are accessible online, posing a significant risk. It is crucial for administrators to ensure their servers are not running in development mode and to monitor for potential vulnerabilities using tools like Detectify. For comprehensive guidance and updates, Oracle's Critical Patch Update Advisory should be consulted.
