Actual exam question for IAPP's CIPT exam
Question #: 95
Topic #: 6
[All CIPT Questions]

An organization has recently experienced a data breach where large amounts of personal data were compromised. As part of a post-incident review, the privacy technologist wants to analyze available data to understand what vulnerabilities may have contributed to the incident occurring. He learns that a key vulnerability had been flagged by the system but that detective controls were not operating effectively. Which type of web application security risk does this finding most likely point to?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Having default settings for information sharing and consent can be problematic because it may not accurately reflect a user's preferences. Users may not be aware of these default settings or may not understand their implications. This could result in personal information being shared without the user's explicit consent.

I'm with Lettie on this one. If the vulnerability was known but the monitoring systems failed to catch it, that points to a clear breakdown in the logging and detection processes. D) Logging and Monitoring Failures is my pick.

Ooh, a data breach! This is like a real-life version of that TV show I've been binge-watching. I'm going to go with B) Misconfiguration. Sounds like someone didn't quite have their settings right.

Well, well, looks like someone didn't keep their software components up to date! C) Vulnerable and Outdated Components seems like the most likely culprit here. Gotta stay on top of those security updates, people!

Ah, I see what they're getting at. The fact that the vulnerability was known but not addressed properly points to an issue with the overall design and implementation of the security controls. I'm leaning towards A) Insecure Design.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. If the vulnerability was flagged but the detective controls weren't working, that sounds like a failure in the logging and monitoring systems. I'm going with D) Logging and Monitoring Failures.

I believe the answer might also be B) Misconfiguration. If the system flagged a key vulnerability but it wasn't fixed, it could be due to misconfiguration.

I agree with Odelia. If the detective controls were not operating effectively, then it's likely a logging and monitoring issue.
