During a penetration test, you are given a strict deadline to complete your tasks. You discover a potentially critical vulnerability that requires extensive testing. What is the BEST course of action to take that aligns most closely with good time management practices?
Report the vulnerability as critical without further investigation to save time and complete other tasks within the deadline.
Ignore the finding and prioritize other set goals to ensure all planned tests are completed within the deadline.
Immediately continue investigating the vulnerability until you fully understand its implications, regardless of the deadline.
Document the finding and move on, reporting it to the client with a recommendation for a follow-up if time does not allow for further investigation.
