Testing approach: Use the agreed escalation path when a confirmed issue presents immediate risk during testing. Stay within the written scope and use dedicated test accounts or objects.

Evidence: Record who was notified, when, what was known, and the temporary containment decision. Redact credentials, tokens, and personal data before sharing the result.

Fix and retest: Provide a concise impact summary and coordinate remediation with the incident owner. Repeat the original check after deployment and record the outcome.
