building-vulnerability-exception-tracking-system

用途

漏洞例外跟踪系统用于管理那些无法在 SLA 期限内完成修复的漏洞。它为申请例外、记录补偿控制、获取风险接受审批提供了结构化的工作流，并在有效期结束时自动使例外过期。这有助于组织在遵循 PCI DSS、SOC 2、NIST CSF 等框架的同时，保持对已接受风险的可见性。

适用时机

• 在环境中部署或配置漏洞例外跟踪系统能力时
• 建立与合规要求对齐的安全控制时
• 为该领域构建或改进安全架构时
• 执行需要此实现的安全评估时

前置条件

• Python 3.9+，并安装 flask、sqlalchemy、requests、jinja2
• PostgreSQL 或 SQLite 数据库
• 用于审批通知的 Email/Slack 集成
• 漏洞管理平台 API（DefectDojo、Qualys、Tenable）

补偿控制文档

对于每个例外，补偿控制必须涵盖：

• Detection：如何检测利用尝试？
• Prevention：哪些屏障可降低利用可能性？
• Response：已具备哪些事件响应程序？
• Monitoring：哪些持续监控可确保控制措施保持有效？
