ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

While conducting threat analysis of a new mobile banking app, you learn that the smartphone stores user JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) in HTML5 local storage and sends them with each REST request to the public API gateway. Which potential attack pattern should you flag as a priority?

  • Buffer overflow in the mobile device's TLS implementation

  • Cross-site scripting that steals the JWT and allows session hijacking

  • SQL injection against the back-end relational database

  • Man-in-the-middle downgrade attack on the TLS handshake
