HashiCorp Exam Vault-Associate Topic 4 Question 10 Discussion

Actual exam question for HashiCorp's Vault-Associate exam
Question #: 10
Topic #: 4
[All Vault-Associate Questions]

A web application uses Vault's transit secrets engine to encrypt data in-transit. If an attacker intercepts the data in transit which of the following statements are true? Choose two correct answers.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Running the second command in the GUI CLI will fail. The second command is vault kv put secret/creds passcode=my-long-passcode. This command attempts to write a secret named creds with the value passcode=my-long-passcode to the secret path, which is the default path for the kv secrets engine. However, the kv secrets engine is not enabled at the secret path, as shown by the first command vault secrets list, which lists the enabled secrets engines and their paths. The only enabled secrets engine is the transit secrets engine at the transit path. Therefore, the second command will fail with an error message saying that no secrets engine is mounted at the path secret/. To make the second command succeed, the kv secrets engine must be enabled at the secret path or another path, using the vault secrets enable command. For example, vault secrets enable -path=secret kv would enable the kv secrets engine at the secret path.Reference:kv - Command | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,vault secrets enable - Command | Vault | HashiCorp Developer

But wouldn't sealing the Vault server also be a good option to prevent further access by the attacker?

I agree with you, Lea. Rotating the encryption key and having only encrypted bits would protect the data.
