ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During triaging of a recent penetration-test report, you discover a flaw where unsanitized user input is concatenated directly into SQL statements, enabling data exfiltration. When entering this item into the team's security bug-tracking system, how should you classify it to ensure it receives the correct severity scoring and remediation priority?

  • Classify it as a defect, because it fails to meet functional specifications.

  • Classify it as a vulnerability, since it is an exploitable weakness that threatens the system's security.

  • Classify it as an improvement, because replacing string concatenation with parameterized queries enhances performance but is not mandatory.

  • Classify it as an error, because it originated from a developer's coding mistake.
