ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

A financial services web application currently keeps authenticated user sessions active indefinitely unless the user explicitly logs out. From a security perspective, which of the following statements BEST describes the implications of this design decision?

  • It increases the risk of session hijacking because an attacker could reuse an unattended active session.

  • It is acceptable provided the session cookie is at least 256 bits long and marked Secure and HttpOnly.

  • It improves security because fewer reauthentication attempts are required, reducing password exposure.

  • It has no significant security impact as long as HTTPS is used to encrypt the session traffic.
