SonicWall Firewall
Overview
SonicWall firewalls enable you to identify and control all applications that are running on your network. By identifying applications based on their unique signatures rather than ports or protocols, this additional control improves compliance and data leakage prevention.

CVE-2020-0688 Microsoft Exchange Server Exploit
Detects the exploitation of CVE-2020-0688. The POC exploit a .NET serialization vulnerability in the Exchange Control Panel (ECP) web page.

With knowledge of these, values an attacker can craft a special viewstate to use an OS command to be executed by NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM using .NET deserialization. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to leverage the credentials of an account it had already compromised to authenticate to OWA.

Prerequisites
- Must have GMS server or On-Prem Analytics server installed and configured.
- Have an Address Object Created on the Firewall for SonicWall Analytics system.
- Have an internal log concentrator (Rsyslog)
Enable Syslog forwarding for SonicWall 6.5 and 7.X
Info
Only the Syslog format ArcSight
is supported by this integration.
Log on your SonicWall appliance and follow this guide to enable syslog forwarding, except for the step 4 : Select Syslog Format as 'Enhanced', you must select Syslog format 'ArcSight' instead.
Create the intake
Go to the intake page and create a new intake from the format SonicWall Firewall.
