ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
While reviewing draft release notes for a web service update, you must ensure administrators can accurately assess the security impact before deployment. Which information is essential to add when verifying the security accuracy of the release notes?
The vulnerability's severity rating and the specific components it affects.
A marketing summary highlighting new user-interface enhancements.
Internal source-code repository paths for the modified files.
The names of developers who performed the code review.
Release notes should enable downstream stakeholders to quickly understand risk. Including a clear severity rating and identifying the components affected by the vulnerability allows administrators to determine urgency, plan mitigations, and verify that the correct assets are updated. Merely listing code reviewers, UI changes, or internal repository paths does not convey the security impact of the change and provides little actionable insight for operations teams.
