Based on KEVIntel honeypot logs and Mandiant report, I believe this is the CVE-2026-35273 chain used, but not 100% on all details.
1 Attacker sends POST /PSEMHUB/hub with environment-management actions (updateEnvironment, fetchEnvironment, syncEnvironment) and a attacker-controlled remote sourceURL (http://attacker_ip:9999/hub_update).
1.1 The hub fetches and processes environment metadata/updates from remote attacker-controlled sourceURL.
1.2 Malicious content is staged on disk under PSEMHUB.war/envmetadata/ (transactions, environment XML).
1.3 RCE follows when that content is processed. Mandiant observed XMLDecoder abuse via envmetadata/data/environment/*.xml on app restart, plus unexpected .jsp webshells.
2. Integration Broker SSRF. POST /PSIGW/HttpListeningConnector with sourceURL targets including:
- WebLogic admin console (127[.]0.0.1:7001/console)
- Internal PeopleSoft services (127[.]0.0.1:51500/pspc/services/AdminService)
- Cloud metadata endpoint (169[.]254.169.254)
🚨 KEVIntel Honeypot Alert
KEVIntel observed activity targeting Oracle PeopleSoft via:
POST /PSIGW/HttpListeningConnector
This is one of the key PeopleSoft endpoints highlighted by Google Mandiant in its reporting on CVE-2026-35273 exploitation by UNC6240 / ShinyHunters.
The activity is consistent with exploitation attempts against the same Environment Management / Integration Broker attack surface described in that campaign.
At this stage, we are treating the activity as consistent with reported CVE-2026-35273 targeting, not as confirmed attribution to the same threat actor.
We are continuing to track this activity across KEVIntel sensors.
