📍 Affected scope
shell-quote — . Attack surface: GET /ping / `reduce` / `Array.prototype.concat` / `parse.js`.
🔥 Severity
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure
🔧 How to fix
Update to **1.9.0**.
🛡️ Workaround
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
🔍 Detection
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual `GET /ping` requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run `grep -r 'shell-quote' .` against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
Response Actions (7 steps)
Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order
-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'shell-quote' . | 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 `shell-quote` 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 'GET /ping' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで `GET /ping` 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。
-
6Apply patch patch
Upgrade shell-quote to 1.9.0ステージング環境で 1.9.0 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
Replay attack against GET /ping 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。
