CompTIA CV0-004 Practice Test 70
Question 690
The platform team at a regional health provider investigates this condition: a cloud VM unexpectedly runs a remote access agent not present in approved images and attempts outbound sessions. Which explanation best accounts for it?
- Secrets disclosed in source must be treated as compromised even before misuse is fully proven.
- Unapproved agents can bypass intended management paths even when core OS services appear healthy.
- Authorization failures include excessive permission as well as denials, so effective policy must be evaluated.
- Modern endpoints reject deprecated cryptography to prevent known confidentiality and integrity risks.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The evidence of success is: The rebuilt host contains only approved packages and unexpected egress stops.
Incorrect Answers
A:That approach would help when an access key appears in a public code repository and cloud audit logs show unfamiliar resource creation. Check the difference through: Review process inventory, package signatures, startup persistence and egress logs.
C:The alternative is aimed at a different condition: An intern can list confidential cloud backups after being assigned a broad inherited storage role. Unapproved agents can bypass intended management paths even when core OS services appear healthy.
D:The proposed measure serves a related cloud task, but the present symptom calls for a more specific response. Unapproved agents can bypass intended management paths even when core OS services appear healthy. Check the difference through: Review process inventory, package signatures, startup persistence and egress logs.
Question 691
At a global distribution company, an engineer needs to close a case where a cloud VM unexpectedly runs a remote access agent not present in approved images and attempts outbound sessions. What test is most decisive?
- The modernized client negotiates an approved cipher and vulnerable protocols remain disabled.
- The old key no longer authenticates and approved workloads use a new identity.
- The rebuilt host contains only approved packages and unexpected egress stops.
- The intern can access their assigned development objects but cannot list protected backups.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:The rebuilt host contains only approved packages and unexpected egress stops. This proves the service behavior rather than just showing a changed configuration. Unapproved agents can bypass intended management paths even when core OS services appear healthy.
Incorrect Answers
A:That approach would help when an updated cloud gateway rejects connections from a legacy service still negotiating obsolete cipher suites. The required acceptance result is: The rebuilt host contains only approved packages and unexpected egress stops.
B:Unapproved agents can bypass intended management paths even when core OS services appear healthy.
D:The intern can access their assigned development objects but cannot list protected backups. The relevant cloud response here is: The rebuilt host contains only approved packages and unexpected egress stops.
Question 692
At a regional health provider, this issue is reported: a cloud VM unexpectedly runs a remote access agent not present in approved images and attempts outbound sessions. What should be examined before applying a fix?
- Inspect effective IAM policies, inherited roles, resource policies and public grants.
- Inspect repository history, audit events, effective key permissions and resource changes.
- Compare registry digest, signed provenance, admission records and deployment manifest.
- Review process inventory, package signatures, startup persistence and egress logs.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Review process inventory, package signatures, startup persistence and egress logs. This distinguishes the relevant dependency before changing cloud resources. Unapproved agents can bypass intended management paths even when core OS services appear healthy.
Incorrect Answers
A:That approach would help when an intern can list confidential cloud backups after being assigned a broad inherited storage role. Review process inventory, package signatures, startup persistence and egress logs.
B:Inspect repository history, audit events, effective key permissions and resource changes. The relevant cloud response here is: Review process inventory, package signatures, startup persistence and egress logs.
C:Compare registry digest, signed provenance, admission records and deployment manifest. The relevant cloud response here is: Review process inventory, package signatures, startup persistence and egress logs.
Question 693
At a global distribution company, an operational review finds that an application suddenly runs a different image digest than the one approved in its deployment manifest. What is the best next step?
- Block the unapproved digest and redeploy the verified image from a trusted registry.
- Remove the escalation path and require separate approval for privilege delegation.
- Revoke or rotate the key, investigate usage and replace it with scoped short-lived identity.
- Isolate the host, investigate installation provenance and restore an approved image.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Mutable tags and weak admission controls can permit supply-chain substitution at runtime. The change should be verified, not just applied: Running workloads use only allowlisted digests and rejected images generate audit events.
Incorrect Answers
B:That approach would help when a workload role unexpectedly gains the right to change its own permissions and assume an administrator role. In this case, mutable tags and weak admission controls can permit supply-chain substitution at runtime.
C:Secrets disclosed in source must be treated as compromised even before misuse is fully proven. The relevant cloud response here is: Block the unapproved digest and redeploy the verified image from a trusted registry.
D:Unapproved agents can bypass intended management paths even when core OS services appear healthy. The relevant cloud response here is: Block the unapproved digest and redeploy the verified image from a trusted registry.
Question 694
An operator asks why the issue arises: an application suddenly runs a different image digest than the one approved in its deployment manifest. Which explanation is strongest?
- Unapproved agents can bypass intended management paths even when core OS services appear healthy.
- Mutable tags and weak admission controls can permit supply-chain substitution at runtime.
- Modern endpoints reject deprecated cryptography to prevent known confidentiality and integrity risks.
- Privilege escalation can result from indirect role-assumption chains, not only a visible administrator assignment.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The evidence of success is: Running workloads use only allowlisted digests and rejected images generate audit events.
Incorrect Answers
A:That approach would help when a cloud VM unexpectedly runs a remote access agent not present in approved images and attempts outbound sessions. Check the difference through: Compare registry digest, signed provenance, admission records and deployment manifest.
