ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During code review of a Java payment microservice, you find each REST call opens a new JDBC connection and closes it only on success, leaving failures unreleased. Load tests soon trigger HTTP 503 errors even though the database is healthy. What primary security risk does this practice create?

  • Introduction of race conditions during concurrent database writes

  • Risk of stack overflow due to unbounded recursion

  • Exposure to SQL injection attacks on the database

  • Resource exhaustion through unreleased connections, leading to a denial-of-service condition
