The compromised service principal has Contributor access to a resource group but no direct Key...

Detailed Solution:

Contributor allows broad management-plane operations but does not inherently grant secret-value retrieval from Key Vault data plane.

Test secret read:

az keyvault secret show \

--vault-name kv-finance-prod \

--name db-password \

--query value \

--output tsv

Expected failure:

Forbidden

Correct answer:

B. No, Contributor does not automatically grant Key Vault secret data-plane read

Key Vault access can be controlled by Azure RBAC or access policies, and secret read requires appropriate data-plane permission.
