INJECTION - Which of the following is at risk of an injection attack?

Sql sql = Sql.Builder.Append(@"SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE custID = '" + request.GetParameter("id") + "'");

Sql sql = Sql.Builder.Append(@"SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE custID = @0", request.GetParameter("id"));

Sql sql = Sql.Builder.Append(@"SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE custID = '" + "120857" + "'");

BROKEN AUTHENTICATION - Which of the following is NOT a good authentication practice?

Use a strong hashing algorithm to hash passwords

Give limited attempts at logging in

Use session timeouts

Allow common passwords so users don't forget their passwords

SENSITIVE DATA EXPOSURE - Which statement is true?

Passwords should be encrypted only when at rest (stored in the database)

Old cryptography algorithms are fine as long as it's used internally

HTTPS/SSL should always be used for sensitive data

FTP is fine to use with sensitive data

XML External Entities (XXE) - Which example is NOT vulnerable to an XXE attack?

<? Xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd" >]> &xxe;

<? Xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "https://192.168.1.1/private" >]>

<? Xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///dev/random" >]>

<? Xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!ELEMENT virus = "very yes"> ]> &xxe;

XML External Entities (XXE) - Which statement is true?

XML is safe to accept from users as is

XML should be sanitized and verified when coming from users

XML is safe to accept as is if you are using SOAP

XML should always be avoided

Broken Access Control - Which URL is NOT vulnerable to attackers possibly viewing unauthorized information?

Https://www.4life.com/corp/report/downline?distId=120857

Https://www.4life.com/corp/myaccount?isAdmin=1

Https://www.4life.com/corp/order?orderId=45634344

Https://www.4life.com/corp/user?token=A4DE9849-7541-4EBF-AC48-314DCF4B0EA0

Security Misconfiguration - Which statement is false?

Keep systems updated and patched

Change default passwords and remove default users that come with new systems

Display stack traces and debug information in all error handling

Disable directory listing

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) - Which Razor view code example is vulnerable to a XSS attack?

@Html.Raw(Request["Name"])

@Request["Name"]

@Model.Name

Insecure Deserialization - The following data is serialized into the value of a cookie stored in the user's browser. This is so the user doesn't have to keep logging in with their password. This also saves having to look up any rights the user has. This makes the web pages load very fast.

UserId=120857&PasswordHash=b6a8b3bea87fe0e05022f8f3c88bc960&Rights=1,2,30

Why is this not ok?

Because the password is hashed

Because the values can be manipulated before being deserialized and used

Because you shouldn't use cookies

There is nothing wrong with this because the cookie is secure using SSL

Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities - Which statement is true?

Updating and patching operating systems should only be done when a security vulnerability is exploited in your system

All libraries used should be updated as soon as a new version is released

Components from other sources should never be used

Developers should be aware of components used that have vulnerabilities and patch them as soon as possible

Insufficient Logging & Monitoring - Which of the following should be used in a software system?

Logging of auditable events, such as logins, failed logins, and high-value transactions

Logging of errors and warnings

Appropriate alerting thresholds and response escalation processes

Monitoring of logs for suspicious activity

All of the above
