Question 1 of 10
Objective 4.6 Given a scenario, monitor suspicious activities to identify common attacks.
4. Security (19%)
A compromised web application attempts repeated requests to the cloud instance metadata endpoint to retrieve temporary role credentials. Which cloud-specific attack path is MOST directly indicated?
Metadata abuse is correct. Cloud instance metadata services can expose temporary credentials to the instance; restricting and hardening metadata access reduces abuse from compromised workloads. Metadata abuse targets cloud instance metadata services to obtain credentials or configuration information.

Source-backed answer review
The free daily CompTIA Cloud+ set includes crawlable question text, answer choices, correct answer labels, objective mapping, and source links. Only the first SEO card includes answer explanations and any extra learning features. Pro-only bank questions stay locked; this section mirrors only the 10 free daily questions already shown on this page.
Question 1 A compromised web application attempts repeated requests to the cloud instance metadata endpoint to retrieve temporary role credentials. Which cloud-specific attack path is MOST directly indicated?
Answer choices
- A. Ransomware
- B. Baseline deviation
- C. Phishing
- D. Metadata abuse
Correct answer
Metadata abuse
Metadata abuse is correct. Cloud instance metadata services can expose temporary credentials to the instance; restricting and hardening metadata access reduces abuse from compromised workloads. Metadata abuse targets cloud instance metadata services to obtain credentials or configuration information.
Wrong-answer review
- A. Ransomware: Ransomware encrypts or otherwise denies access to data or systems to extort payment. It is a plausible concept from the objective, but it does not satisfy the scenario's decisive requirement; Metadata abuse does.
- B. Baseline deviation: A baseline deviation is behavior that differs materially from established normal activity and may warrant investigation. It is a plausible concept from the objective, but it does not satisfy the scenario's decisive requirement; Metadata abuse does.
- C. Phishing: Phishing uses deceptive messages or sites to induce users to reveal information or execute malicious actions. It is a plausible concept from the objective, but it does not satisfy the scenario's decisive requirement; Metadata abuse does.
Extra learning features
Why candidates miss this
The temptation to select 'Ransomware' stems from the scenario's description of malicious activity. However, ransomware's core function is extortion, not the specific mechanism of metadata abuse. The decisive clue is the explicit mention of metadata services, highlighting the vulnerability exploited. Likely wrong answer: Ransomware Review focus: Amazon EC2 Instance Metadata Service
