ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During a component review, you learn that your product depends on an open-source logging framework with a published high-severity remote-code-execution flaw. The exploit requires an attacker to modify the framework's configuration file, but in your environment the file is cryptographically signed and writable only by administrators. After documenting these compensating controls, what is the MOST appropriate risk-response for this component?

  • Accept the risk and document the decision, since existing controls reduce likelihood below the organization's threshold.

  • Avoid the risk entirely by replacing the framework with a different logging library.

  • Mitigate the risk by immediately upgrading the logging framework to a patched release.

  • Transfer the risk by purchasing extended vendor support that includes custom security patches.
