[All 350-701 Questions]

A security test performed on one of the applications shows that user input is not validated. Which security vulnerability is the application more susceptible to because of this lack of validation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

An application that does not validate user input is particularly susceptible to SQL injection attacks. In an SQL injection attack, an attacker can insert or 'inject' a SQL query via the input data from the client to the application. Due to the lack of validation, the malicious SQL commands are executed by the database server, leading to unauthorized access or manipulation of the database.

Denial-of-service seems off to me; I think the lack of validation is more directly tied to SQL injection.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like cross-site scripting could also be a concern with unvalidated input.

I'm a bit confused on this question. I know it has something to do with input validation, but I'm not sure which specific vulnerability is the most likely. I'll have to review my notes on common web application vulnerabilities.

Ah, I know this one! The lack of input validation makes the application susceptible to SQL injection. That's the security vulnerability I'd choose.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Could it also be vulnerable to cross-site request forgery or a denial-of-service attack? I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. If the application doesn't validate user input, it's likely vulnerable to SQL injection.

Okay, I've got this. If the application doesn't validate user input, that means it's open to SQL injection attacks. That's the security vulnerability I'll select for this question.

Watch out for tricky wording. 'Objective' means something you can actually measure or observe, not just what the patient tells you. That points to vital signs.
