6Apply patch patch
Upgrade node-min to 20.20.0, 22.22.0, 24.13.0, 25.3.0ステージング環境で 20.20.0, 22.22.0, 24.13.0, 25.3.0 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 3 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。
-
7Post-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。
