CompTIA CS0-003 Practice Test 59

Question 580

A mobile app stores long-lived bearer tokens in an unprotected shared directory. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?

  1. Add adaptive throttling and account-risk monitoring without enabling denial of service by arbitrary lockouts.
  2. Invalidate server-side sessions and tokens upon logout as supported by architecture.
  3. Issue single-use short-lived reset tokens bound to the intended account.
  4. Store tokens in platform-protected credential storage and rotate exposed secrets.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Tokens function as credentials and require confidentiality at rest. Protect mobile bearer tokens.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Controlled rate limits reduce automated guessing while retaining service availability. It would mitigate authentication brute force responsibly, but it would not protect mobile bearer tokens.

B:

Removing browser UI does not necessarily revoke an existing session. It could help enforce session invalidation after logout, but it would not protect mobile bearer tokens.

C:

Reusable reset links create persistent credential takeover opportunities. That is relevant to authentication and session vulnerabilities, not to protect mobile bearer tokens.

Question 581

A frontend assigns attacker-controlled data directly to `innerHTML`. Which next step is MOST defensible for the security team?

  1. Use safe text APIs or context-aware sanitization instead of unsafe DOM sinks.
  2. Sanitize allowed HTML and enforce safe rendering with a restrictive CSP as defense in depth.
  3. Implement a restrictive tested CSP while fixing underlying unsafe input handling.
  4. Encode untrusted content for the HTML output context.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Dynamic DOM insertion can execute scripts even without server-side reflection. Prevent DOM-based XSS sink.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Persistent user-supplied markup needs controlled allowed content and browser execution restrictions. That is relevant to cross-site scripting mitigations, not to prevent DOM-based XSS sink.

C:

CSP can reduce exploit impact but does not replace safe rendering. It would add CSP as XSS defense in depth, but it would not prevent DOM-based XSS sink.

D:

Context-specific output encoding prevents input becoming executable markup. It could help mitigate reflected XSS through encoding, but it would not prevent DOM-based XSS sink.

Question 582

An integer length multiplication wraps before a heap allocation and a larger copy follows. Which action BEST aligns with sound security operations?

  1. Correct object lifetime and synchronization; test with memory sanitizers.
  2. Validate integer range and allocation size before copying data.
  3. Add bounds-safe parsing and memory-safe alternatives where feasible.
  4. Restore platform exploit mitigations while fixing the underlying memory bug.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Integer overflow can produce undersized memory buffers. Prevent allocation integer overflow.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Use-after-free can corrupt heap state and potentially enable code execution. That is relevant to buffer and integer overflow defenses, not to prevent allocation integer overflow.

C:

Unchecked copies can corrupt stack or heap memory. It could help prevent classic buffer overflow, but it would not prevent allocation integer overflow.

D:

Address randomization raises exploit difficulty but is not a permanent code fix. That is relevant to buffer and integer overflow defenses, not to prevent allocation integer overflow.

Question 583

An application includes hard-coded encryption keys in its public client bundle. Which response BEST addresses the security problem described?

  1. Migrate to a tuned password hashing function with unique salts per credential.
  2. Rotate affected keys and investigate downstream encrypted data exposure.
  3. Move secrets to protected server-side key management and rotate compromised keys.
  4. Disable weak protocols and configure modern supported TLS versions and suites.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Client-side packaged secrets cannot be considered secret from users. Remove exposed client encryption secret.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Password hashing needs slow adaptive derivation to resist offline cracking. It would fix fast unsalted password storage, but it would not remove exposed client encryption secret.

B:

Possible key compromise breaks the trust assumption of existing ciphertext protection. It could help respond to potentially compromised encryption key, but it would not remove exposed client encryption secret.

D:

Modern handshake policy reduces downgrade and cryptographic weakness exposure. It would harden outdated TLS configuration, but it would not remove exposed client encryption secret.

Question 584

User profiles store rich-text biographies that later execute JavaScript for other visitors. Which investigative or response action BEST fits the evidence?

  1. Use safe text APIs or context-aware sanitization instead of unsafe DOM sinks.
  2. Implement a restrictive tested CSP while fixing underlying unsafe input handling.
  3. Encode untrusted content for the HTML output context.
  4. Sanitize allowed HTML and enforce safe rendering with a restrictive CSP as defense in depth.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Persistent user-supplied markup needs controlled allowed content and browser execution restrictions. Mitigate persistent XSS in stored profiles.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Dynamic DOM insertion can execute scripts even without server-side reflection. It could help prevent DOM-based XSS sink, but it would not mitigate persistent XSS in stored profiles.

B:

CSP can reduce exploit impact but does not replace safe rendering. That is relevant to cross-site scripting mitigations, not to mitigate persistent XSS in stored profiles.

C:

Context-specific output encoding prevents input becoming executable markup. It would mitigate reflected XSS through encoding, but it would not mitigate persistent XSS in stored profiles.

Question 585

TLS endpoints still negotiate legacy protocols and weak ciphers for public authentication. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?

  1. Disable weak protocols and configure modern supported TLS versions and suites.
  2. Rotate affected keys and investigate downstream encrypted data exposure.
  3. Move secrets to protected server-side key management and rotate compromised keys.
  4. Migrate to a tuned password hashing function with unique salts per credential.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Modern handshake policy reduces downgrade and cryptographic weakness exposure. Harden outdated TLS configuration.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Possible key compromise breaks the trust assumption of existing ciphertext protection. It would respond to potentially compromised encryption key, but it would not harden outdated TLS configuration.

C:

Client-side packaged secrets cannot be considered secret from users. It could help remove exposed client encryption secret, but it would not harden outdated TLS configuration.

D:

Password hashing needs slow adaptive derivation to resist offline cracking. That is relevant to insecure cryptography and secrets, not to harden outdated TLS configuration.

Question 586

A browser policy allows unrestricted inline scripts despite repeated XSS findings. Which next step is MOST defensible for the security team?

  1. Encode untrusted content for the HTML output context.
  2. Implement a restrictive tested CSP while fixing underlying unsafe input handling.
  3. Sanitize allowed HTML and enforce safe rendering with a restrictive CSP as defense in depth.
  4. Use safe text APIs or context-aware sanitization instead of unsafe DOM sinks.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

CSP can reduce exploit impact but does not replace safe rendering. Add CSP as XSS defense in depth.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Context-specific output encoding prevents input becoming executable markup. It would mitigate reflected XSS through encoding, but it would not add CSP as XSS defense in depth.

C:

Persistent user-supplied markup needs controlled allowed content and browser execution restrictions. That is relevant to cross-site scripting mitigations, not to add CSP as XSS defense in depth.

D:

Dynamic DOM insertion can execute scripts even without server-side reflection. It would prevent DOM-based XSS sink, but it would not add CSP as XSS defense in depth.

Question 587

Encryption keys are reused indefinitely despite a suspected breach of key management access. Which action BEST aligns with sound security operations?

  1. Move secrets to protected server-side key management and rotate compromised keys.
  2. Disable weak protocols and configure modern supported TLS versions and suites.
  3. Rotate affected keys and investigate downstream encrypted data exposure.
  4. Migrate to a tuned password hashing function with unique salts per credential.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Possible key compromise breaks the trust assumption of existing ciphertext protection. Respond to potentially compromised encryption key.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Client-side packaged secrets cannot be considered secret from users. It could help remove exposed client encryption secret, but it would not respond to potentially compromised encryption key.

B:

Modern handshake policy reduces downgrade and cryptographic weakness exposure. That is relevant to insecure cryptography and secrets, not to respond to potentially compromised encryption key.

D:

Password hashing needs slow adaptive derivation to resist offline cracking. It could help fix fast unsalted password storage, but it would not respond to potentially compromised encryption key.

Question 588

A user can request another customer's invoice by changing a numeric API object ID. Which response BEST addresses the security problem described?

  1. Check authorization at the server API on every protected operation.
  2. Scope token authorization to required actions and resources.
  3. Derive tenant scope from trusted authenticated claims and enforce data isolation.
  4. Enforce server-side ownership checks for each object and action.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Authentication does not authorize access to arbitrary records. Fix insecure direct object reference.

Incorrect Answers

A:

User interface visibility is not a security boundary. That is relevant to broken object-level authorization, not to fix insecure direct object reference.

B:

Excess token permissions enable unauthorized modifications after token exposure. It would enforce API action-level authorization, but it would not fix insecure direct object reference.

C:

Client-supplied tenant selection enables cross-tenant data access. It could help prevent cross-tenant authorization bypass, but it would not fix insecure direct object reference.

Question 589

An adversary uses application scripts to disable local endpoint protection. Which investigative or response action BEST fits the evidence?

  1. Enforce tamper protection and restrict who can change security settings.
  2. Block vulnerable driver versions and maintain trusted driver allowlisting.
  3. Enable supported memory execution protections and keep the browser patched.
  4. Remove or disable the unnecessary component after dependency validation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Self-protection controls prevent ordinary privileged sessions from silently weakening defense. Prevent local security control tampering.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Signed status does not guarantee a driver is safe or currently supported. It could help mitigate bring-your-own-vulnerable-driver attack, but it would not prevent local security control tampering.

C:

DEP and related mitigations raise exploit difficulty while patching removes flaws. That is relevant to endpoint exploit mitigations, not to prevent local security control tampering.

D:

Eliminating unused functionality reduces available exploit entry points. It would reduce unused attack surface, but it would not prevent local security control tampering.

Question 590

A cloud function accepts a user-supplied IAM role ARN and assumes it without restriction. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?

  1. Apply explicit private bucket policy and verify effective anonymous access is denied.
  2. Enforce approved role allowlists and strict trust relationships.
  3. Isolate untrusted build execution and prevent secrets injection into unapproved jobs.
  4. Enforce tenant-aware authorization at the backend service boundary.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Role selection by untrusted input can cross authorization boundaries. Prevent confused-deputy cloud role assumption.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Storage confidentiality requires resource-level access enforcement. It could help close anonymous cloud object access, but it would not prevent confused-deputy cloud role assumption.

C:

Build events from outsiders must not access privileged release credentials. It would prevent CI pull-request secret leakage, but it would not prevent confused-deputy cloud role assumption.

D:

Gateway authentication alone cannot stop cross-tenant object access. It could help remediate tenant scope bypass, but it would not prevent confused-deputy cloud role assumption.
