lightrag-hku — . Attack surface: DELETE /documents / POST /documents/upload / POST /query / GET /auth-status.
🔥 Severity
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure
🔧 How to fix
Update to **1.5.4**.
🛡️ 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 `DELETE /documents` requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run `grep -r 'lightrag-hku' .` 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

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify 
    grep -r 'lightrag-hku' . | 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 `lightrag-hku` を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 3
    Hunt for indicators of compromise detect 
    grep 'DELETE /documents' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'

    アクセスログで `DELETE /documents` 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。

  3. 6
    Apply patch patch 
    Upgrade lightrag-hku to 1.5.4

    ステージング環境で 1.5.4 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。

  4. 7
    Post-deployment verification verify 
    Replay attack against DELETE /documents 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。
