ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During a sprint review you learn that a developer copied source files for an open-source JSON parser from a public GitHub gist into the project repository to avoid adding a formal dependency. From a secure code reuse perspective, what is the most appropriate response?

  • Retain the copied code and obfuscate it so attackers cannot easily understand or exploit it.

  • Replace the copied code with the project's vetted package and manage it through the organization's repository so it is automatically tracked by software composition analysis.

  • Accept the change because eliminating external dependencies reduces supply-chain risk and simplifies builds.

  • Keep the copied files but perform a one-time static analysis scan before the next release.
