Honeypot sees scans for SAP NetWeaver webshells via CVE-2025-31324
Original title: Attackers Searching for SAP Netweaver Webshells, (Mon, Nov 9th)
SANS logged requests for ant.jsp and other upload paths, including an unauthenticated upload bug scored CVSS 10.
SANS Internet Storm Center saw honeypot requests for /irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/ant.jsp and many other upload URLs. The diary ties the activity to CVE-2025-31324, an old SAP NetWeaver flaw that lets unauthenticated attackers upload files and has been used to plant webshells, often under that path. One source, 82.26.72.21, requested SAP and non-SAP paths, including a misspelled upload.apsx.
Unconfirmed: The diary presents honeypot hits from one address, not confirmed compromise of a named victim.
