ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During integration of a new SaaS HR application with the organization's SAML 2.0 single sign-on service, testing reveals that intercepted SAML assertions remain usable for nearly eight hours-their default lifetime. Which configuration change on the identity provider and service provider will most effectively reduce this replay risk while still allowing seamless SSO for legitimate users?

  • Allow only identity-provider-initiated SSO so users never reach the SaaS login page.

  • Remove the AudienceRestriction element so the same assertion can be reused across multiple SaaS applications without additional logins.

  • Include the user's password hash in the assertion attributes so the service provider can perform local authentication.

  • Configure both parties to issue and accept only signed assertions that expire within a few minutes of issuance.
