What it detects

This rule detects HTTP POST requests to the 403.jsp resource on Ivanti EPMM carrying the AntSword webshell parameter k. It is tied to a Java webshell appended to the legitimate 403.jsp error page during EPMM exploitation to provide operators remote command execution. Detecting these requests reveals interaction with the deployed webshell.
