ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During a security design review, a team plans to include an open-source cryptographic library obtained from a public repository. In line with secure software supply-chain guidance for selecting third-party components, which evaluation will provide the strongest assurance that the library will not become an unpatched attack vector over time?

  • Verify that the library's public API follows the organization's internal coding style and naming conventions.

  • Check the number of community stars and forks to gauge overall popularity in the developer ecosystem.

  • Confirm that the project maintains a regular patch cadence and publishes timely security advisories for newly discovered vulnerabilities.

  • Benchmark the library's execution speed against proprietary alternatives to ensure adequate performance margins.
