Question 490
A web scan reports no injection defects but excluded every authenticated API route. What outcome is consistent with the correct authorized test?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The coverage statement identifies the omitted protected routes. This answer directly addresses the described constraint. A negative result applies only to the surfaces actually tested. Successful validation requires: The coverage statement identifies the omitted protected routes.
Incorrect Answers
This result applies to a different case: A scanner discovers a cloud service tag matching a vulnerable product but no accessible resource endpoint. Product labels do not alone prove exploitability. It does not establish the present requirement, where the coverage statement identifies the omitted protected routes. The relevant evidence is: The coverage statement identifies the omitted protected routes.
That approach concerns a different situation: a scanner's authenticated credential was disabled during the test with no alert in the output summary. Credentials can silently fail and create false negative coverage. The required result is that the coverage statement identifies the omitted protected routes. The relevant evidence is: The coverage statement identifies the omitted protected routes.
That relates to a different issue: A credentialed scan finds no missing patches but several hosts never accepted the scan account. Unscanned hosts cannot be treated as confirmed patched. That is not a direct remedy for the requested outcome: The coverage statement identifies the omitted protected routes. The relevant evidence is: The coverage statement identifies the omitted protected routes.
