Question 410
An API scanner reports a dangerous HTTP method but the gateway returns 405 for all such requests. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Listed methods alone do not prove a callable dangerous operation. Validate effective HTTP method exposure.
Incorrect Answers
Name mismatches can reflect deployment errors without an attacker. It could help distinguish certificate misbinding from MITM, but it would not validate effective HTTP method exposure.
Supported configurations must be evaluated against actual handshake policy. It would verify weak TLS suite is actually negotiable, but it would not validate effective HTTP method exposure.
Reverse proxies can mask real software versions and confuse fingerprinting. It could help reject unsupported backend version inference, but it would not validate effective HTTP method exposure.
