ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

A penetration test identifies a critical SQL injection flaw in a legacy payroll web application. The software vendor has confirmed that no code fix will be available for about 30 days. Which response best demonstrates a mitigation strategy that reduces the vulnerability's likelihood or impact by using a compensating control during that period?

  • Record the finding in the risk register and formally accept the vulnerability until a patch is issued.

  • Purchase a cyber-insurance policy that covers data breaches involving employee information.

  • Take the payroll application offline until the vendor supplies a patched release.

  • Implement a web application firewall rule that filters SQL injection payloads against the affected URL.
