	"plain_text": "CAPEC-650: Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server (Version 3.9)\r\nArchived: 2026-04-05 16:37:38 UTC\r\n Description\r\nBy exploiting insufficient permissions, it is possible to upload a web shell to a web server in such a way that it can be\r\nexecuted remotely. This shell can have various capabilities, thereby acting as a \"gateway\" to the underlying web server. The\r\nshell might execute at the higher permission level of the web server, providing the ability the execute malicious code at\r\nelevated levels.\r\n Typical Severity\r\n Relationships\r\nThis table shows the other attack patterns and high level categories that are related to this attack pattern. These\r\nrelationships are defined as ChildOf and ParentOf, and give insight to similar items that may exist at higher and lower levels\r\nof abstraction. In addition, relationships such as CanFollow, PeerOf, and CanAlsoBe are defined to show similar attack\r\npatterns that the user may want to explore.\r\nNature Type\r\nChildOf Standard Attack Pattern - A standard level attack pattern in CAPEC is focused on a specific methodology or technique used in an attack. It\r\nThis table shows the views that this attack pattern belongs to and top level categories within that view.\r\n Prerequisites\r\nThe web server is susceptible to one of the various web application exploits that allows for uploading a shell file.\r\n Consequences\r\nThis table specifies different individual consequences associated with the attack pattern. The Scope identifies the security\r\nproperty that is violated, while the Impact describes the negative technical impact that arises if an adversary succeeds in\r\ntheir attack. The Likelihood provides information about how likely the specific consequence is expected to be seen relative\r\nto the other consequences in the list. For example, there may be high likelihood that a pattern will be used to achieve a\r\ncertain impact, but a low likelihood that it will be exploited to achieve a different impact.\r\nScope Impact Likelihood\r\nConfidentiality Read Data\r\nConfidentiality\r\nAccess Control\r\nAuthorization\r\nGain Privileges\r\nConfidentiality\r\nIntegrity\r\nAvailability\r\nExecute Unauthorized Commands\r\n Mitigations\r\nMake sure your web server is up-to-date with all patches to protect against known vulnerabilities.\r\nEnsure that the file permissions in directories on the web server from which files can be execute is set to the \"least\r\nprivilege\" settings, and that those directories contents is controlled by an allowlist.\r\n Taxonomy Mappings\r\nhttps://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/650.html\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nCAPEC mappings to ATT\u0026CK techniques leverage an inheritance model to streamline and minimize direct\r\nCAPEC/ATT\u0026CK mappings. Inheritance of a mapping is indicated by text stating that the parent CAPEC has relevant\r\nATT\u0026CK mappings. Note that the ATT\u0026CK Enterprise Framework does not use an inheritance model as part of the\r\nmapping to CAPEC.\r\nRelevant to the ATT\u0026CK taxonomy mapping (also see parent)\r\nEntry ID Entry Name\r\n1505.003 Server Software Component:Web Shell\r\n Content History\r\nSubmissions\r\nSubmission Date Submitter Organization\r\n2018-05-31\r\n(Version 2.11)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nModifications\r\nModification Date Modifier Organization\r\n2019-04-04\r\n(Version 3.1)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nUpdated Related_Weaknesses\r\n2020-07-30\r\n(Version 3.3)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nUpdated Mitigations, Taxonomy_Mappings\r\n2020-12-17\r\n(Version 3.4)\r\nCAPEC Content Team The MITRE Corporation\r\nUpdated Mitigations\r\nMore information is available — Please select a different filter.\r\nSource: https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/650.html\r\nhttps://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/650.html\r\nPage 2 of 2",
