BREAKPOINT

Where a breakpoint would have been

The access behind that login rather than the login itself. The agent searched for a flaw from inside, after authenticating, which means the question is what a freshly authenticated session was allowed to read and modify.

A breakpoint is the single change that closes a path with the least disruption. Read how that is chosen in the breakpoint page. The full narrative is in the teardown.
