ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During black-box security testing of a third-party REST service, you believe an undocumented /admin endpoint might exist even though it does not appear in the vendor's specification. With no access to source code, which single action will most directly confirm or disprove the presence of that endpoint?

  • Run a black-box directory and parameter fuzzing tool against the API to look for unexpected successes.

  • Manually issue an HTTP request to the suspected /admin path and inspect the response status code.

  • Capture normal network traffic and review only the TLS cipher-suite negotiation details.

  • Execute the vendor's functional regression test suite to observe any references to the /admin route.
