Explanation
A minor configuration issue discovered during pre-production assessment is a routine finding that belongs in normal development reporting channels - specifically to the team lead in the regular weekly report. Escalating a minor issue to the CISO (Option A) would be an inappropriate use of executive attention and violates the principle of proportional escalation. Notifying end users (Option B) is inappropriate for a pre-production system. Reporting to the vendor (Option C) is incorrect because the issue was a configuration problem introduced by the internal development team, not a vendor software defect. Severity determines the escalation path: minor issues go through standard channels, critical issues warrant immediate escalation.
