Question 51

Several vulnerability scan reports have indicated runtime errors as the code is executing. The dashboard that lists the errors has a command-line interface for developers to check for vulnerabilities. Which of the following will enable a developer to correct this issue? (Select two).

A.Performing dynamic application security testing
B.Reviewing the code
C.Fuzzing the application
D.Debugging the code
E.Implementing a coding standard
F.Implementing IDS

Question 52

A vulnerability management team found four major vulnerabilities during an assessment and needs to provide a report for the proper prioritization for further mitigation. Which of the following vulnerabilities should have the highest priority for the mitigation process?

A.A vulnerability that has related threats and loCs, targeting a different industry
B.A vulnerability that is related to a specific adversary campaign, with loCs found in the SIEM
C.A vulnerability that has no adversaries using it or associated loCs
D.A vulnerability that is related to an isolated system, with no loCs

Question 53

The vulnerability analyst reviews threat intelligence regarding emerging vulnerabilities affecting workstations that are used within the company:

Which of the following vulnerabilities should the analyst be most concerned about, knowing that end users frequently click on malicious links sent via email?

A.Vulnerability A
B.Vulnerability B
C.Vulnerability C
D.Vulnerability D

Question 54

An employee is no longer able to log in to an account after updating a browser. The employee usually has several tabs open in the browser. Which of the following attacks was most likely performed?

A.RFI
B.LFI
C.CSRF
D.XSS

Correct Answer: C

The most likely attack that was performed is CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery). This is an attack that forces a user to execute unwanted actions on a web application in which they are currently authenticated1. If the user has several tabs open in the browser, one of them might contain a malicious link or form that sends a request to the web application to change the user's password, email address, or other account settings. The web application will not be able to distinguish between the legitimate requests made by the user and the forged requests made by the attacker. As a result, the user will lose access to their account.
To prevent CSRF attacks, web applications should implement some form of anti-CSRF tokens or other mechanisms that validate the origin and integrity of the requests2. These tokens are unique and unpredictable values that are generated by the server and embedded in the forms or URLs that perform state-changing actions. The server will then verify that the token received from the client matches the token stored on the server before processing the request. This way, an attacker cannot forge a valid request without knowing the token value.
Some other possible attacks that are not relevant to this scenario are:
RFI (Remote File Inclusion) is an attack that allows an attacker to execute malicious code on a web server by including a remote file in a script. This attack does not affect the user's browser or account settings.
LFI (Local File Inclusion) is an attack that allows an attacker to read or execute local files on a web server by manipulating the input parameters of a script. This attack does not affect the user's browser or account settings.
XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) is an attack that injects malicious code into a web page that is then executed by the user's browser. This attack can affect the user's browser or account settings, but it requires the user to visit a compromised web page or click on a malicious link. It does not depend on having several tabs open in the browser.

Question 55

A vulnerability scan shows the following vulnerabilities in the environment:

At the same time, the following security advisory was released:
"A zero-day vulnerability with a CVSS score of 10 may be affecting your web server. The vendor is working on a patch or workaround." Which of the following actions should the security analyst take first?

A.Contact the web systems administrator and request that they shut down the asset.
B.Monitor the patch releases for all items and escalate patching to the appropriate team.
C.Run the vulnerability scan again to verify the presence of the critical finding and the zero-day vulnerability in the environment.
D.Forward the advisory to the web security team and initiate the prioritization strategy for the other vulnerabilities.

Correct Answer: A

In this scenario, the security analyst is presented with multiple vulnerabilities, including a critical zero-day vulnerability affecting the web server with a CVSS score of 10. The CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) provides a standardized method for rating IT vulnerabilities, with a score of 10 indicating the highest severity.
Option A:Contact the web systems administrator and request that they shut down the asset.
* Correct Choice:Given the critical nature of a zero-day vulnerability with a CVSS score of 10, immediate action is warranted to prevent potential exploitation. Shutting down the affected web server reduces the attack surface and mitigates the risk until a patch or workaround is available. This aligns with incident response best practices, where containment is a priority to prevent further damage.
Option B:Monitor the patch releases for all items and escalate patching to the appropriate team.
* Incorrect Choice:While monitoring for patches is essential, it is a reactive approach. In the case of a zero-day vulnerability with active exploitation potential, waiting for a patch without implementing immediate protective measures exposes the organization to significant risk.
Option C:Run the vulnerability scan again to verify the presence of the critical finding and the zero-day vulnerability in the environment.
* Incorrect Choice:Re-scanning may confirm the vulnerability's presence but does not address the immediate threat. Action to mitigate the risk should take precedence over verification, especially when the vulnerability is known and critical.
Option D:Forward the advisory to the web security team and initiate the prioritization strategy for the other vulnerabilities.
* Incorrect Choice:Communicating with the web security team is important; however, in the face of a critical zero-day vulnerability, immediate action (such as shutting down the affected asset) is necessary before addressing other vulnerabilities.
