Question 260
At the Silverport national logistics provider, an application accepts a signed identity token issued for a different resource as if it authorized access to its own API. How should the organization sustain the improvement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The team should retest token validation after authentication library upgrades. That recurring practice targets the same weakness, namely that a valid cryptographic signature does not make a token intended for one audience valid for another application. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Silverport national logistics provider.
Incorrect Answers
Although the proposed practice may address cases where a password reset alone does not necessarily invalidate every already-issued session token instantly, it does not maintain the specific correction here. For the Silverport national logistics provider, the direct corrective action is to validate token issuer audience expiry and required claims at the relying application.
That routine supports identity governance entitlement management, but the relevant ongoing risk requires the team to retest token validation after authentication library upgrades. For the Silverport national logistics provider, the direct corrective action is to validate token issuer audience expiry and required claims at the relying application.
