What it detects

This rule detects JSP files being written under the SAP servlet_jsp irj work directory, the deployment location where CVE-2025-31324 exploitation dropped webshells such as forwardsap.jsp and helper.jsp. New JSP files appearing in this runtime path indicate server software component abuse. This is a reliable webshell persistence signal.
