Response actions

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

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Runtime.linux-arm' . | 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 Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Runtime.linux-arm を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Runtime.linux-arm to 9.0.21
```
ステージング環境で 9.0.21 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
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。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
