What MITRE ATT&CK T1505.003: Web Shell (Enterprise Tactic TA0003 - Persistence) requires
MITRE ATT&CK T1505.003 (Web Shell) is an Enterprise Persistence sub-technique of T1505 (Server Software Component). Adversaries may backdoor web servers with web shells to establish persistent access to systems. A Web shell is a Web script that is placed on an openly accessible Web server to allow an adversary to access the Web server as a gateway into a network. A Web shell may provide a set of functions to execute or a command-line interface on the system that hosts the Web server. In addition to a server-side script, a Web shell may have a client interface program that is used to talk to the Web server (e.g. Affected platforms: Linux, Windows, macOS, Network. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1042 Disable or Remove Feature or Program, M1018 User Account Management. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense maps this technique to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls AC-02, AC-03, AC-05, AC-06, AC-16, CM-02, CM-05, CM-06.
