What CISA requires

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

Forensic triage

No

What to do now

  1. Find every instance of WebLogic Server you run, including the forgotten ones, and check its version against the vendor advisory.
  2. Apply the vendor's fix or mitigation, before June 24, 2024 if you are bound by CISA's deadline, sooner if it faces the internet.
  3. Assume it was tried against you already: look for signs of exploitation from the date it was added, not from the day you patched.
  4. Until every instance is patched, block the attack at the edge: a WAF in blocking mode stops OS command injection payloads, including Shellshock.

Block it at the edge while you patch

The Dome's WAF runs the OWASP Core Rule Set in blocking mode and stops OS command injection payloads, including Shellshock before they reach your application.
