-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja' . | 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
github.com/go-vikunja/vikunjaを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'PUT /api/v1/migration/vikunja-file/migrate' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
PUT /api/v1/migration/vikunja-file/migrate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。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja to 2.6.0ステージング環境で 2.6.0 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と、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。
-
4Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against PUT /api/v1/migration/vikunja-file/migrate on staging to confirm patch closes the vector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 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
