An analyst suspects a vulnerable endpoint in a web application. They want to leverage a recognized injection analysis tool with built-in enumeration features that require minimal manual input. Which technique is the best approach to confirm compromised parameters for retrieval of restricted data?
Focus on modifying request headers to reduce detection by security tools
Enable automated enumeration in the scanning program to list database details
Perform a dictionary-based search that attempts to guess table structures
Generate custom payloads by manually editing each page parameter
Configuring the utility to enumerate database objects and confirm if parameters are exploitable is the most effective method. Dictionary-based guessing may discover some names but does not reveal unexpected structures. Manual analysis is time-consuming and does not systematically verify if the injection produces meaningful results. Adjusting headers can help avoid some detection mechanisms but does not confirm whether the endpoint truly reveals sensitive content. Automated enumeration ensures a thorough assessment of potential flaws.
