Pentest discussion: Reviewing service account ownership

AdminUser

Seeded test discussion. How would you validate reviewing service account ownership in an authorized engagement?

Scenario: Inventory non-human accounts in scope and verify owner, purpose, expiry, and credential management. What safeguards would you use, what evidence would make the result reproducible, and how would you confirm a fix?

Testing approach: Inventory non-human accounts in scope and verify owner, purpose, expiry, and credential management. Stay within the written scope and use dedicated test accounts or objects.

Evidence: Record account metadata and activity without exposing secrets. Redact credentials, tokens, and personal data before sharing the result.

Fix and retest: Assign owners, minimize privileges, and remove dormant accounts. Repeat the original check after deployment and record the outcome.
