Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

While conducting a penetration test against the /24 network range explicitly authorized in the contract, you discover an unsecured FTP service whose IP address belongs to an external third-party vendor that was never mentioned during scoping. According to ethical hacking concepts and professional conduct, what action should you take next?

  • Contact the vendor directly, obtain verbal permission, and then resume testing the discovered server.

  • Notify the client immediately and request written authorization before performing any further testing against the vendor's system.

  • Proceed to exploit the FTP server only enough to capture evidence of the vulnerability.

  • Ignore the finding and continue testing the originally scoped IP addresses.
