Question 180
In an AWS networking assessment, a WAF log destination receives too much sensitive request information for a narrowly scoped compliance report. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Comprehensive request logging can expose sensitive headers or query strings beyond the audit's legitimate need. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that saved WAF records omit designated sensitive fields while retaining useful security evidence.
Incorrect Answers
Packet capture may collect sensitive payloads and should follow least-necessary data minimization. For the stated conditions, comprehensive request logging can expose sensitive headers or query strings beyond the audit's legitimate need. The more specific mechanism is wAF logging supports redaction and logging filters to reduce exposed request information.
Management event routing detects control changes without inspecting payload traffic. The decisive technical distinction is wAF logging supports redaction and logging filters to reduce exposed request information; comprehensive request logging can expose sensitive headers or query strings beyond the audit's legitimate need.
Edge delivery requests can bypass origin logs on cache hits, so origin-only auditing is incomplete. For the stated conditions, comprehensive request logging can expose sensitive headers or query strings beyond the audit's legitimate need. The more specific mechanism is wAF logging supports redaction and logging filters to reduce exposed request information.
