HackerOne Seasides Quiz

What is the primary risk associated with Injection vulnerabilities in web applications?

• Malicious code execution that bypasses authentication

• Insecure data storage leading to data leaks

• Execution of arbitrary commands via user input

• Lack of encryption in transit

Which of the following can help mitigate Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities?

• Implementing secure password policies

• • Using input validation and output encoding

• Enforcing HTTP-only cookies

• Restricting the use of third-party libraries

In the context of Broken Authentication, which of the following is the most likely attack vector?

• Exploiting weak session management to hijack a session

• Injecting SQL commands into the application database

• Redirecting users to malicious websites

• Using public key cryptography to impersonate a user

What is one of the most common consequences of sensitive data exposure in web applications?

• Loss of data integrity

• Unauthorized access to sensitive information like credit card details

• Account hijacking due to weak authentication mechanisms

• Code injection leading to server compromise

Which of the following techniques can be used to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)?

• Input validation

• Use of SameSite cookie attribute

• Regular expression filtering

• Encrypting sensitive data at rest

What does an attacker typically exploit in the "Security Misconfiguration" risk in web applications?

• Improperly configured server, application, or database settings

• Overly complex encryption algorithms

• Lack of SSL/TLS certificates on public-facing websites

• Poorly designed user interface that allows user confusion

Which of the following can help prevent using Components with Known Vulnerabilities in a web application?

• Avoiding input validation

• Regularly updating and patching third-party libraries and dependencies

• Implementing strong session management policies

• Enforcing complex password policies

What is an example of insufficient logging and monitoring that could lead to a security breach?

• Not tracking failed login attempts

• Storing logs in unencrypted files

• Sending log data over an unencrypted channel

• All of the above

What is the impact of using Insecure Deserialization in a web application?

• Data leakage due to improper access controls

• Remote code execution or object injection attacks

• Denial of service due to data overload

• Authentication bypass using weak session tokens

Which of the following best describes "Insufficient Security Controls" under the OWASP Top 10?

• The application is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks

• The application does not have strong authentication and authorization mechanisms in place

• The application fails to encrypt sensitive data during transmission

• The application uses outdated third-party libraries
