You have completed a scan of a custom enrollment platform. The results show a severe issue in a service that, according to the lead developer, does not accept data. Which step is recommended to confirm whether this reported finding is inaccurate?
Mark the issue for review but continue investigating the reported findings for accuracy
Perform another scan with the same rules to double-check the results
Use testing methods to determine whether the reported flaw has an observable impact
Reach out to the vendor for clarification about the component in question and its design
Identifying whether the alleged weakness can be replicated shows if it leads to an actual threat. Actions that rely on assumptions, repeated scans without validation, or contacting external sources do not demonstrate if the scenario is real. Testing directly reveals if the issue is present or an error.
