ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

During a routine penetration test, your security team discovers a previously unknown zero-day vulnerability in a widely used enterprise software platform deployed throughout your organization. The flaw permits unauthenticated remote code execution on affected servers. Although the team has created a temporary mitigation, it has not yet been rolled out to every system. Which disclosure strategy BEST adheres to responsible and ethical practices?

  • Apply a mitigation to your systems and keep the vulnerability information within your organization

  • Publish technical details of the vulnerability on security blogs and social media to warn users of the software

  • Notify the vendor privately with technical details and allow them time to develop a patch before public disclosure

  • Report the vulnerability to regulatory authorities and then contact the vendor
