ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

While reviewing an application's end-user documentation you observe that it instructs support staff to leave the default behavior in which database exceptions such as "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" are displayed directly to users. From a security documentation standpoint, which corrective action should you recommend to mitigate the primary risk this practice introduces?

  • Revise the guide to mandate replacing specific database error codes with generic user messages, recording full details only in secured server logs.

  • Expand the documentation to include a comprehensive appendix of all database error codes so users can diagnose issues themselves.

  • Direct developers to turn off structured exception handling so that the web server returns standard HTTP 500 pages whenever a failure occurs.

  • Keep the current behavior but instruct users to capture and email screenshots of any error dialog to the help desk for analysis.
