ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

While evaluating a cryptographic library for a payment system, the team must decide between a popular community-supported open-source package and a proprietary library backed by a vendor with a service-level agreement (SLA). Which risk is uniquely higher for the community-supported option when compared with the commercially licensed and supported alternative?

  • Acquisition costs could unexpectedly exceed the allocated licensing budget.

  • Engineers must compile source updates themselves, increasing deployment effort.

  • There is no contractual obligation ensuring that security patches will be delivered within an agreed timeline.

  • Attackers can study publicly available source code to find exploitable flaws.
