Where it shows in your logs
Server or web application · Unsafe deserialisation (remote code execution) medium confidence
What to look for
- Large base64 or serialized blobs in POST bodies, cookies or ViewState (e.g. rO0AB for Java, AAEAAAD for .NET)
- The application process spawning shells or loading unexpected DLLs/JARs right after those requests
- The application's process (w3wp.exe, java, tomcat, node, php-fpm, httpd, python) starting shells or LOLBins (cmd, powershell, sh, bash, curl, wget, certutil)
- New script files in web roots (.jsp, .aspx, .php): a web shell
- Requests to unusual URLs on the application from internet IPs right before any of the above
- Outbound connections from the server to new external IPs
