ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During a code review of a Java servlet-based payment API, assessors notice that uncaught runtime exceptions propagate to the container, which returns full stack traces to callers and leaves request threads active until they time out. Which remediation best aligns with secure exception-handling practice to curb both denial-of-service risk and information leakage?

  • Add a global exception handler that catches unhandled exceptions, logs them, frees resources, and returns a generic 500 error page without the stack trace.

  • Disable logging of runtime exceptions so stack traces are never written to the response or log files.

  • Surround each business method with a catch block that swallows Throwable and continues processing without reporting an error.

  • Increase the servlet container's maximum thread pool size so additional requests can be served despite lingering faulted threads.
