Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'whoogle-search' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で `whoogle-search` を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
6
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade whoogle-search to 3a2e0b262e4a076a20416b45e6b6f23fd265aeda, 0.8.4
```

7
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 3 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
