Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    Audit SBOM/dependencies for affected components.

    資産台帳・SBOM・依存マニフェストで Koha Community Koha を使っているサービスとバージョンを洗い出す。

  2. 2
    Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
    grep 'GET /cgi-bin/koha/reports/catalogue_out.pl' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'

    アクセスログで GET /cgi-bin/koha/reports/catalogue_out.pl への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。
