ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

During a cloud migration project, a DevOps engineer stores the application's database username and password directly in a public Git repository so that automated build jobs can inject them into container images at build time. According to common application-security pitfalls that should be highlighted during developer training, which specific mistake is illustrated by this practice?

  • Neglecting to compress container images before pushing to the registry

  • Using weak cryptographic ciphers for data at rest

  • Failing to implement server-side input validation

  • Hard-coding credentials in source control, leading to secret exposure
