Practice question 406 of 498 · hard

An application adds a third-party document importer that executes under a privileged workload identity. What should happen to its threat model?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Keep the existing model because the user-facing workflow has not changed
  2. B.Rely solely on the importer vendor's vulnerability scan instead of reviewing the integration
  3. C.Treat the managed identity's lack of a stored password as proof that its privileges are safe
  4. D.Update assets, dependencies, data flows, and trust boundaries, then evaluate misuse and mitigations
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Update assets, dependencies, data flows, and trust boundaries, then evaluate misuse and mitigations

New dependencies and privileged flows require architecture reassessment. An unchanged user interface does not preserve trust assumptions, a vendor scan does not analyze the customer integration, and secretless authentication does not prove appropriate authorization.
