ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

During a penetration test of a cloud-hosted microservice, the tester demonstrates that appending the string " OR 1=1 --" to a query parameter returns all rows from the backend database. The development team is preparing a hot-fix and wants to eliminate this vulnerability across all future services. Which secure coding practice best addresses the underlying issue during development rather than relying on compensating controls?

  • Build all database interactions with parameterized queries or prepared statements that bind user input as data.

  • Perform output encoding on every value returned from the database before sending the HTTP response.

  • Upgrade the service-to-database connection to use TLS 1.3 with mutual authentication.

  • Deploy a web application firewall rule that rejects any request containing a single quotation mark.
