CVE-2020-1938 Apache Tomcat: Emulation and Detection
In this lab, you’ll practice vulnerability management by researching, assessing, testing, and mitigating an emerging threat. When you’re finished, you’ll have a system that will be protected against CVE-2020-1938 and you’ll be able to interrogate logs for previous compromises.

Getting Started in the Lab Environment
Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!
-
Challenge
Emulate
You'll use Nmap to check if you’re running an affected version of Apache Tomcat and if the default Apache JServ Protocol port is exposed. Then you'll examine and run the Python test script included in the lab to determine if your system is exploitable by trying to access the web.xml file.
-
Challenge
Detect
You'll now work to identify if you have previously been compromised by interrogating web server logs.
-
Challenge
Protect
Patching the Tomcat server isn't always an option so you'll now explore some other ways to mitigate the vulnerability.

The Last Challenge
Welcome to the final challenge! This is your last chance to experiment in the environment. Clicking Finish Lab will end this little world that flittered into existence just for you.
Real skill practice before real-world application
Hands-on Labs are real environments created by industry experts to help you learn. These environments help you gain knowledge and experience, practice without compromising your system, test without risk, destroy without fear, and let you learn from your mistakes. Hands-on Labs: practice your skills before delivering in the real world.
Learn by doing
Engage hands-on with the tools and technologies you’re learning. You pick the skill, we provide the credentials and environment.
Follow your guide
All labs have detailed instructions and objectives, guiding you through the learning process and ensuring you understand every step.
Turn time into mastery
On average, you retain 75% more of your learning if you take time to practice. Hands-on labs set you up for success to make those skills stick.
