CNX-001 Exam Dumps : CompTIA CloudNetX Exam

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Failing to log out of a privileged session on a shared device leaves that session accessible to the next user, potentially granting unauthorized access to administrative functions. This scenario aligns with privilege escalation, where an individual gains access to higher-level permissions than they are authorized to have.

Relevant Extract from CompTIA CloudNetX CNX-001 Study Guide — under “Access Control and Security Threats”:

“Privilege escalation occurs when a user gains elevated access rights, often due to misconfigurations or negligence, such as unattended administrative sessions.”

Other options:

A. IP spoofing involves falsifying source IP addresses.

B. Zero-day refers to unknown software vulnerabilities.

C. On-path attacks involve intercepting traffic, not session misuse on local devices.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

To better secure administrative interfaces, the best practice is to isolate them from the production network by connecting the management ports to a separate, dedicated management network. This prevents unauthorized access from devices or users on the production subnet and reduces the attack surface.

Relevant Extract from CompTIA CloudNetX CNX-001 Study Guide — under “Securing Network Infrastructure”:

“Management interfaces should be placed on a separate out-of-band management network, providing physical and logical separation from user and data traffic.”

This ensures that only trusted devices on the management network can access the administrative interfaces.

Other options:

B. Disabling unused ports is good practice but does not address the segregation of management traffic.

C. Placing admin interfaces and production traffic on the same VLAN exposes them to potential internal threats.

D. Firmware upgrades are important for security patches but do not isolate the interface.
