Q1Domain Verified
In the context of AWS penetration testing, what is the primary security implication of an overly permissive IAM policy that grants `s3:GetObject` access to all principals on a bucket containing sensitive customer data?
It allows for accidental deletion of data by legitimate users who misconfigure their access.
It might cause denial-of-service attacks by overwhelming the S3 API with excessive read requests.
It could facilitate privilege escalation if the compromised user can then access other AWS services with the same credentials.
It could lead to unauthorized data exfiltration by external attackers who compromise a less privileged user account.
Q2Domain Verified
When performing a penetration test against an AWS Lambda function, what is a common vulnerability that arises from insufficient input validation, allowing an attacker to inject malicious code?
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) by manipulating parameters to make the Lambda function access internal AWS resources.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) within the Lambda function's execution environment.
Command Injection by exploiting the Lambda runtime's ability to execute shell commands.
SQL Injection directly into the Lambda function's code.
Q3Domain Verified
During an AWS penetration test, you discover an EC2 instance with an overly permissive Security Group that allows inbound SSH (port 22) access from `0.0.0.0/0`. What is the most immediate and significant risk associated with this configuration?
Increased susceptibility to brute-force attacks against SSH credentials.
Higher network latency due to unfiltered inbound traffi
Elevated risk of unauthorized access to other AWS services through the compromised EC2 instance.
C) Accidental data corruption if malicious scripts are uploaded via SSH.
