Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a penetration test of a company hosted on a public IaaS provider, you find application source code on a compromised Linux VM contains hard-coded access keys that allow unfettered read/write access to object storage buckets. To minimize future exposure of these credentials and limit blast radius, which cloud-native control should you recommend implementing?

  • Enable server-side encryption with provider-managed keys on every object storage bucket.

  • Replace static keys with an instance-attached role that supplies short-lived credentials via the metadata or identity service.

  • Create a private network endpoint to object storage and block all outbound internet traffic from the VM.

  • Turn on object versioning and require multi-factor delete protection for the buckets.
