Sample Offensive Security Certified Professional exam question
Answer this question the same way you would on exam day. No sign-up needed — one random question, three tries to swap it out.
In a penetration test, an automated scan finds no vulnerability in a PHP application where the 'template' parameter is used unsafely in an include operation. You suspect an LFI-to-RCE chain that can give you a foothold as the web server user, after which local privilege escalation is required. Which approach best reflects manual verification, contextual payload selection, and the OSCP mindset?
