Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

While testing a single-page web application, you intercept a GET request that returns:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 48

{"msg":"Hello, <script>alert(1)</script>"}

The server never sets the X-Content-Type-Options response header. Modern browsers therefore fall back on MIME sniffing when the response begins with an HTML DOCTYPE that you can inject. What client-side attack does this misconfiguration allow you to perform against other users most directly?

  • Bypass anti-CSRF tokens and submit forged POST requests silently.

  • Force the site to render inside a hidden iframe to steal clicks (clickjacking).

  • Execute SQL statements directly on the back-end database from the client.

  • Trigger reflected cross-site scripting and run arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser.
