Web Security
In the Try It scenario, why is an admin panel deployed with auth deliberately deferred (and then forgotten) classified as Security Misconfiguration rather than Broken Access Control?
A
There's no real distinction, both terms are interchangeable
B
Broken Access Control describes flawed access-control LOGIC; Security Misconfiguration describes a secure default that was never applied in the first place — the fixes differ (logic fix vs. deployment/config process fix)
C
Because the admin panel wasn't actually accessible
D
Because misconfiguration only applies to database settings
