CompTIA Exam PT0-002 Topic 4 Question 71 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's PT0-002 exam

Question #: 71
Topic #: 4

During a REST API security assessment, a penetration tester was able to sniff JSON content containing user credentials. The JSON structure was as follows:

transaction_id: "1234S6", content: [ {

user_id: "mrcrowley", password: ["54321#"] b <

user_id: "ozzy",

password: ["1112228"] ) ]

Assuming that the variable json contains the parsed JSON data, which of the following Python code snippets correctly returns the password for the user ozzy?

Ajson['content']['password'][1]

Bjson['user_id']['password'][0][1]

Cjson['content'][1]['password'][0]

Djson['content'][0]['password'][1]

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To correctly return the password for the user 'ozzy' from the given JSON structure, the Python code snippet should navigate the nested structure appropriately. The 'content' array contains objects with 'user_id' and 'password' fields. The correct password for 'ozzy' can be accessed using the code json['content'][1]['password'][0], which navigates to the second object in the 'content' array (index 1) and then accesses the first element (index 0) of the 'password' array for that user.
