web shell attacks
About this tag
Web shell attacks are a persistent threat to Windows servers, with recent activity highlighting targeted campaigns against Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and on-premises SharePoint Server installations. A China-linked threat cluster, OP-512, uses a custom three-part web shell framework to exploit aging IIS deployments. Separately, attackers are actively exploiting critical SharePoint vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-53770 and CVE-2025-53771) to deploy web shells and achieve remote code execution. Multi-platform web shell attacks also leverage file upload flaws across Windows and Linux servers. These incidents underscore the importance of patching, monitoring for web shell indicators, and securing file upload functionality to prevent initial access.
