The SecOps Group CCPenX-Az Exam - Topic 2 Question 5 Discussion

Posted by Fannie on Jul 19, 2026 at 02:51 AM

SIMULATION

You've discovered that the compromised user holds directory-level privileges. Enumerate how this role can be abused to compromise another user in the directory. What is the Job Title attribute of the compromised target user?

Suggested Answer: A

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

Detailed Solution:

As the second compromised user, enumerate directory users:

az ad user list --output table

Use a cleaner query to show names, UPNs, and job titles:

az ad user list

--query '[].{DisplayName:displayName,UPN:userPrincipalName,JobTitle:jobTitle}'

--output table

You should identify a target user whose profile contains a flag in the jobTitle attribute.

The important target is:

lila.nguyen@azuresecops.onmicrosoft.com

Her jobTitle field contains:

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

Because the compromised user has User Administrator, you can reset this target user's password and later authenticate as her.

Final Answer:

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

I vaguely recall that the Job Title attribute might be used to impersonate someone or gain trust. I hope I can remember the exact steps to enumerate that information during the exam.

I think if the compromised user can change attributes, they could potentially escalate privileges for another account. But I'm a bit confused about how to find the Job Title attribute specifically.
LI

This reminds me of a practice question where we had to identify risks associated with user roles. I think the Job Title attribute could be important for social engineering attacks.
LE
Leandro 3 months ago
I remember we discussed how directory-level privileges could allow a user to modify permissions for others, but I'm not sure how that directly leads to compromising another user.
