Threats, Attacks, and Vulnerabilities Practice Question

Question

A candidate is reviewing a practice scenario for the CompTIA Security+ involving SQL injection in Threats, Attacks, and Vulnerabilities. Which answer is best? (Item 143)

Answer choices

1. A. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
2. B. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
3. C. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the SQL injection scenario.
4. D. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.

Correct Answer

C. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the SQL injection scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because SQL injection is tested by asking candidates to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
