Actual exam question for Cisco's 350-701 exam
Question #: 85
Topic #: 2
[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.
