## Overview

This repository is an incident-response and mitigation kit for Magento’s StyleSmuggler vulnerability, not an installer or application module. The documented workflow is to check for compromise, investigate indicators and clean up if found, then apply web-server rules or Adobe’s version-specific patches. The repository also preserves attack-mechanism and early-warning guidance. Relationships below reflect the README’s documented workflow; implementation behavior for snippets and patches was not sampled.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/disrex-group/stylesmuggler-mitigation/blob/main/README.md) (Triage guide), [`snippets/apache.conf`](https://github.com/disrex-group/stylesmuggler-mitigation/blob/main/snippets/apache.conf) (Apache rules), [`snippets/nginx.conf`](https://github.com/disrex-group/stylesmuggler-mitigation/blob/main/snippets/nginx.conf) (Nginx rules), [`patches`](https://github.com/disrex-group/stylesmuggler-mitigation/tree/main/patches) (Adobe patch sets)
