CVE-2022-26134 Confluence: Emulation and Detection
In this lab, you’ll practice verifying vulnerabilities and implementing protective security controls. When you’re finished with this lab, you’ll have a basic understanding of protecting Confluence servers against CVE-2022-26134.
Terms and conditions apply.
Challenge
Getting Started in the Lab Environment
Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!
Challenge
Setup: Configure A Test Confluence Server
You will finalize the configuration of a test Confluence Server to validate exploitation of the CVE-2022-26134 vulnerability.
Challenge
Emulation: Verify Confluence Server Vulnerability to CVE-2022-26134
In this challenge, you'll review the bug bounty hunter’s report verifying legitimacy and existence of the critical vulnerability. You’ll learn how to identify an Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) injection and use the attack technique to gain access to the host operating system.
Challenge
Detection: Find Indicators of Attempted CVE-2022-26134 Exploitation
In this challenge, you’ll review the Confluence server application logs and packet capture to understand what (if any) indicators of compromise are created by abusing the vulnerability identified in the previous challenge.
Challenge
Protection: Alert on CVE-2022-26134 Attack Attempts
In this challenge, you’ll use knowledge gained in the two previous challenges to make a risk-based decision on how to best mitigate the vulnerability. You’ll assume that a patch is not currently available, and the application cannot be turned off as it’s hosting a necessary business function.
Challenge
