ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During final regression testing for a web application that is supposed to go live in two days, the security team discovers a SQL-injection flaw that allows privilege escalation and is trivially exploitable. Break/build criteria state that any critical vulnerability must be resolved before production release. What action best aligns with secure SDLC practice when assessing the impact of this finding on product management and the release schedule?

  • Note the issue for a post-release hotfix so the launch date remains unchanged.

  • Reclassify the finding as medium because it was discovered internally and proceed with deployment.

  • Disable the affected function in the automated tests to avoid blocking the release and add the defect to the backlog.

  • Fail the build, inform product management, and reschedule the release after the vulnerability is remediated and retested.
