HashiCorp Vault-Associate Exam - Topic 9 Question 44 Discussion

Actual exam question for HashiCorp's Vault-Associate exam
Question #: 44
Topic #: 9
[All Vault-Associate Questions]

A developer mistakenly committed code that contained AWS S3 credentials into a public repository. You have been tasked with revoking the AWS S3 credential that was in the code. This credential was created using Vault's AWS secrets engine and the developer received the following output when requesting a credential from Vault.

Which Vault command will revoke the lease and remove the credential from AWS?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is A because the lease ID is the unique identifier for the credential. The lease ID is used to revoke the credential using the vault lease revoke command. This command will invalidate the credential immediately and prevent any further renewals.It will also delete the access key and secret key from AWS, rendering them useless1. The access key and secret key are not sufficient to revoke the credential, as they are not recognized by Vault. The lease ID is composed of the path of the secrets engine, the role name, and a random UUID. In this case, the path is aws/creds, the role name is s3-access, and the UUID is f3e92392-7d9c-99c8-c921-57Sd62fe89d8.

D looks wrong, it should be a lease ID, not an access key.

I think the lease ID is crucial here, so I’m leaning towards option C, but I need to double-check if the format is exactly what we practiced.

I feel like option A looks right since it includes the path to the credential, but I could be mixing it up with another command we studied.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to revoke a credential, and I think it was important to use the correct lease path.

I think the command should be related to the lease ID, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the full path or just the ID itself.

This seems straightforward enough. I'll just need to carefully copy the lease ID from the Vault output and use that in the revoke command.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key is to look for the lease ID in the Vault output and use that in the 'vault lease revoke' command to remove the credential.

Okay, I think I've got this. The lease ID is the unique identifier that was returned when the credential was initially created. I'll need to use that to revoke the lease and remove the credential from AWS.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different options here. I'll need to make sure I understand which part of the Vault output corresponds to the lease ID that needs to be revoked.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the output from the Vault command to determine the correct lease ID to revoke.

Haha, I bet the developer who committed those credentials is feeling pretty sheepish right now. Hopefully, they learned a valuable lesson about keeping sensitive info out of public repos!

I'm not sure, but I think Option B might work too. Revoking the access key directly could also remove the credential from AWS.
