| Description |
This article describes how to use a custom event handler in FortiAnalyzer to raise alerts for incident response related to attacks that attempt to leverage the Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability. A report is also provided to gain historical visibility into the logs. The article will be continually updated as more information becomes available. |
| Scope |
This article contains the files necessary to load an event handler and report into the FortiAnalyzer for either a Fabric ADOM or a FortiGate ADOM. The Fabric report and event handler leverage logs from other Fortinet products that can be used to detect the attack in addition to FortiGate logs. For more information about this attack, see the following FortiGuard Outbreak Alert: https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/outbreak-alert/apache-path-traversal |

What is included in Fortinet_Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability.zip?
1) Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability_event-handler.json This event handler helps identify Apache Server Path Traversal Vulnerabilities detected by FortiGates and other Fortinet products.
2) Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability _report.dat This report displays the findings on Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal attacks from FortiGates and other Fortinet products.
3) fgt_Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability _event-handler.json The event handler for FortiGate ADOMs is configured for FortiGate logs only.
4) fgt_Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability _report.dat The report for FortiGate ADOMs includes FortiGate charts only.
Steps: 1) Download the Fortinet_Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability.zip file (contains 4 files).
2) Unzip Fortinet_Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability.zip.
3) Import Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability_event-handler.json or fgt_ Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability_event-handler.json event handler:
Choose an ADOM (if ADOMs are enabled). The ADOM may be of type Fabric or FortiGate: - Choose the FortiSOC module. - Select Event Handler List. - Select the Import option under More. - Select the appropriate event handler depending on the ADOM type.
