ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

Your organization is selecting a popular open-source JSON parsing library to integrate into a payment processing microservice. To align with NIST's Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) and minimize software supply chain risk, which action should you perform before allowing developers to import the library into the build pipeline?

  • Conduct a structured risk assessment that scans the library for known vulnerabilities and reviews its maintenance and patch history.

  • Add the library to the project's software bill of materials (SBOM) and postpone vulnerability scanning until after deployment.

  • Approve the library as long as its open-source license permits commercial use, deferring security considerations to later sprints.

  • Rely on the application firewall to filter any attacks that could exploit weaknesses in the library once it is deployed.
