Answer options
A: ar_sn_si_phishing_email
B: sn_si_incident
C: sn_si_phishing_email_header
D: sn_si_phishing_email Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. sn_si_phishing_email
Explanation

The EmailUserReportedPhishing script include is a core component of the User Reported Phishing feature within ServiceNow Security Incident Response. When a user forwards a suspicious email to a designated mailbox, the EmailUserReportedPhishing inbound action triggers this script. The script's primary function is to parse the forwarded email and create a new record in the User Reported Phishing Submissions table. The technical name for this table is snsiphishingemail. This record acts as the initial submission, which can then be analyzed, and if deemed malicious, escalated into a full security incident (snsiincident).

Why Incorrect

A. arsnsiphishingemail: The ar prefix typically denotes an archive table in ServiceNow, which is used for long-term storage of inactive records, not for creating new ones.
B. snsiincident: This is the main Security Incident table. While a phishing submission can be promoted to a security incident, the initial record is not created here.
C. snsiphishingemailheader: This table stores parsed email header data associated with a phishing submission, but it is not the primary table for the submission itself.
