How to Verify a Security Fix When an Application Uses a Legacy Endpoint

A legacy endpoint may remain accessible after a new route is fixed. Clients, integrations, or old bookmarks can continue using the vulnerable path.

What to check

Inventory route versions from source, gateway, documentation, and access logs. Retest the original condition on both current and legacy endpoints within authorized scope.

Recommended next step

Fix or retire the legacy route with a migration plan, monitor continued usage, and ensure the security control is enforced server-side across all versions.
