FIM: new script file in web upload directory

The customer portal has a folder that should only hold pictures. A script file (PHP) has appeared in it and someone is running commands through it. This could be a hidden back door called a web shell.

Your task: Decide how serious this is. Find out who uploaded the file, whether it was used, and what the attacker could see.

Assign this alert to yourself to see the evidence and start investigating.
