Question 20

During a cross-team security policy review at Aster Mutual, engineers say that they resolved this finding: An attacker places a malicious relay between two hosts to read unprotected application traffic. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?

  1. Endpoint telemetry shows containment and no unauthorized outbound command channel remains.
  2. The stolen password and session no longer authenticate and the spoofed destination is blocked.
  3. A connection intercepted by a test relay fails authentication without exposing application data.
  4. Unauthorized object reads stop and fresh scoped credentials work only for intended operations.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A connection intercepted by a test relay fails authentication without exposing application data. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: An attacker places a malicious relay between two hosts to read unprotected application traffic. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Require authenticated encrypted transport and validate endpoint identities rather than trusting network proximity—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Aster Mutual.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Endpoint telemetry shows containment and no unauthorized outbound command channel remains. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A workstation begins executing a disguised program that installs an unauthorized remote access component, usually addressed by Isolate the endpoint, remove the malicious executable using approved response controls, and examine persistence. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Aster Mutual was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A connection intercepted by a test relay fails authentication without exposing application data.

B:

The stolen password and session no longer authenticate and the spoofed destination is blocked. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A user receives a message directing them to a lookalike identity portal and enters corporate credentials, usually addressed by Revoke exposed sessions and credentials, investigate phishing delivery, and enforce phishing-resistant sign-in. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Aster Mutual was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A connection intercepted by a test relay fails authentication without exposing application data.

D:

Unauthorized object reads stop and fresh scoped credentials work only for intended operations. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Cloud audit records show an API token used from an unexpected geography to enumerate confidential objects, usually addressed by Disable the compromised token, investigate its scope, and rotate affected credentials before restoring least-privilege access. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Aster Mutual was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A connection intercepted by a test relay fails authentication without exposing application data.

Question 21

At Horizon Energy Services, during an application modernization project, the security team is examining remote workforce and operational IT. The finding is: A vendor access portal experiences password spraying across many usernames from a few addresses. Which action BEST addresses this specific security issue?

  1. Apply identity risk detection, rate controls, and phishing-resistant MFA with investigation of attempted accounts.
  2. Apply upstream DDoS mitigation and rate-based controls while preserving authorized client access.
  3. Isolate the endpoint, remove the malicious executable using approved response controls, and examine persistence.
  4. Revoke exposed sessions and credentials, investigate phishing delivery, and enforce phishing-resistant sign-in.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Apply identity risk detection, rate controls, and phishing-resistant MFA with investigation of attempted accounts. This directly addresses the documented failure: A vendor access portal experiences password spraying across many usernames from a few addresses. For the Horizon Energy Services environment, the measurable success condition is: Spraying attempts are throttled and account activity reveals no successful unauthorized sign-ins. This control targets the specific failure rather than merely changing an unrelated security setting.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Apply upstream DDoS mitigation and rate-based controls while preserving authorized client access. That action fits another problem: A public-facing service is saturated by thousands of coordinated requests from many networks and legitimate users cannot connect. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Horizon Energy Services: A vendor access portal experiences password spraying across many usernames from a few addresses. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Apply identity risk detection, rate controls, and phishing-resistant MFA with investigation of attempted accounts.

C:

Isolate the endpoint, remove the malicious executable using approved response controls, and examine persistence. That action fits another problem: A workstation begins executing a disguised program that installs an unauthorized remote access component. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Horizon Energy Services: A vendor access portal experiences password spraying across many usernames from a few addresses.

Question 22

At Horizon Energy Services, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting remote workforce and operational IT: A vendor access portal experiences password spraying across many usernames from a few addresses. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?

  1. Attack traffic is absorbed upstream and measured legitimate request success recovers.
  2. Endpoint telemetry shows containment and no unauthorized outbound command channel remains.
  3. Spraying attempts are throttled and account activity reveals no successful unauthorized sign-ins.
  4. The stolen password and session no longer authenticate and the spoofed destination is blocked.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Question 23

A security engineer at Newbridge Charity reviews donation applications and volunteer accounts as part of a privileged access assessment. The observed problem is: A vendor access portal experiences password spraying across many usernames from a few addresses. What is the BEST corrective action?

  1. Disable the compromised token, investigate its scope, and rotate affected credentials before restoring least-privilege access.
  2. Apply identity risk detection, rate controls, and phishing-resistant MFA with investigation of attempted accounts.
  3. Isolate the endpoint, remove the malicious executable using approved response controls, and examine persistence.
  4. Require authenticated encrypted transport and validate endpoint identities rather than trusting network proximity.

Question 25

At Harbor Point Medical, during a scheduled security controls review, the security team is examining clinical applications and enterprise endpoints. The finding is: A web form concatenates user input into database queries and a crafted value changes the query structure. Which action BEST addresses this specific security issue?

  1. Use parameterized queries and server-side validation instead of dynamically concatenating untrusted SQL.
  2. Encode output for its HTML context and enforce appropriate browser content restrictions.
  3. Validate the product-specific advisory and remediate according to exposure and severity using an approved patch window.
  4. Require CSRF protection and validate origin and same-site cookie policy for state-changing operations.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Use parameterized queries and server-side validation instead of dynamically concatenating untrusted SQL. This directly addresses the documented failure: A web form concatenates user input into database queries and a crafted value changes the query structure. For the Harbor Point Medical environment, the measurable success condition is: Malicious input is handled as data and cannot change the executed query plan. This control targets the specific failure rather than merely changing an unrelated security setting.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Encode output for its HTML context and enforce appropriate browser content restrictions. That action fits another problem: An app reflects untrusted user comments as executable markup in the browser. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Harbor Point Medical: A web form concatenates user input into database queries and a crafted value changes the query structure. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use parameterized queries and server-side validation instead of dynamically concatenating untrusted SQL.

C:

Validate the product-specific advisory and remediate according to exposure and severity using an approved patch window. That action fits another problem: An appliance runs software with a published high-impact CVE that affects its exposed management interface. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Harbor Point Medical: A web form concatenates user input into database queries and a crafted value changes the query structure. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use parameterized queries and server-side validation instead of dynamically concatenating untrusted SQL.

D:

Require CSRF protection and validate origin and same-site cookie policy for state-changing operations. That action fits another problem: A cookie-authenticated application accepts an account change request from another origin without an anti-forgery check. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Harbor Point Medical: A web form concatenates user input into database queries and a crafted value changes the query structure. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use parameterized queries and server-side validation instead of dynamically concatenating untrusted SQL.

Question 26

At Harbor Point Medical, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting clinical applications and enterprise endpoints: A web form concatenates user input into database queries and a crafted value changes the query structure. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?

  1. Malicious input is handled as data and cannot change the executed query plan.
  2. Stored and reflected script payloads display as text without execution.
  3. A forged cross-origin request is rejected while the legitimate authenticated workflow succeeds.
  4. Asset inventory and version checks show the affected vulnerable component was remediated.

Explanation
