🔥 Severity
Severity: ?. Data can be tampered with by attackers
🔧 How to fix
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.

Response Actions (7 steps)
Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order
-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'caddy' . | 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 `caddy` を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
-
3Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'POST /load' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで `POST /load` 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。
-
7Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against POST /load 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 3 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
