NEW QUESTION # 28
After purchasing an item on an e-commerce website, a user can view his order details by visiting the URL:
https://example.com/order_id=53870
A security researcher pointed out that by manipulating the order_id value in the URL, a user can view arbitrary orders and sensitive information associated with that order_id.
Which of the following is correct?
- A. The root cause of the problem is a lack of input validation and by implementing a strong whitelisting, the problem can be solved
- B. None of the above
- C. The problem can be solved by implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF)
- D. The root cause of the problem is a weak authorization (Session Management) and by validating a user's privileges, the issue can be fixed
Answer: D
Explanation:
The scenario describes an e-commerce website where a user can view order details by manipulating the order_id parameter in the URL (e.g., https://example.com/order_id=53870). A security researcher found that changing the order_id allows access to arbitrary orders and sensitive data, indicating an authorization issue.
This is not a simple input validation problem (e.g., SQL injection or path traversal), as the input (order_id) is processed, but the system fails to enforce proper access controls. This is a classic case ofInsecure Direct Object References (IDOR), where an attacker can access resources by guessing or manipulating identifiers without proper authorization checks. The root cause is a weak authorization mechanism, likely tied to poor session management orprivilege validation, allowing unauthorized users to view others' data.
* Option A ("The root cause of the problem is a lack of input validation..."): Incorrect, as the issue is not about invalid input (e.g., malicious code) but about unauthorized access to valid data. Whitelisting might help sanitize input, but it doesn't address authorization.
* Option B ("The root cause of the problem is a weak authorization (Session Management)..."):
Correct, as the problem stems from inadequate authorization checks. Validating user privileges (e.g., ensuring the user can only access their own orders) or improving session management (e.g., tying orders to user sessions) can fix this IDOR vulnerability.
* Option C ("The problem can be solved by implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF)"):
Incorrect as a standalone solution, as WAFs mitigate certain attacks (e.g., SQLi, XSS) but are not a substitute for fixing authorization logic. A WAF might detect patterns but won't enforce proper access control.
* Option D ("None of the above"): Incorrect, as Option B accurately identifies the root cause and solution.
The correct answer is B, aligning with the CAP syllabus under "Authorization and Access Control" and
"OWASP Top 10 (A04:2021 - Insecure Design)."References: SecOps Group CAP Documents - "Session Management," "Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR)," and "OWASP Top 10" sections.

NEW QUESTION # 38
The DNS entries forwww.ironman.comandwww.hulk.comboth point to the same IP address i.e., 1.3.3.7. How does the web server know which web application is being requested by the end user's browser?
- A. The web server inspects the cookies sent by the client.
- B. The web server uses a reverse DNS lookup of the client's IP address.
- C. The web server inspects the client's SSL certificate.
- D. The web server inspects the HTTP "Host" header sent by the client.
Answer: D
Explanation:
When multiple domain names (e.g.,www.ironman.comandwww.hulk.com) resolve to the same IP address (e.
g., 1.3.3.7), a web server hosting multiple applications on that IP must determine which application to serve.
This is achieved using theHTTP "Host" header, which is part of the HTTP/1.1 protocol. The client (browser) includes the requested domain (e.g., Host: www.ironman.com) in the request, allowing the server to route the request to the appropriate virtual host or application configured for that domain. This is a standard practice in virtual hosting.
* Option A ("The web server inspects the HTTP 'Host' header sent by the client"): Correct, as the Host header enables the server to distinguish between applications on the same IP.
* Option B ("The web server inspects the cookies sent by the client"): Incorrect, as cookies are used for session management or personalization, not for identifying the requested application.
* Option C ("The web server inspects the client's SSL certificate"): Incorrect, as SSL certificates are used for encryption and authentication, not for application routing (though they may include the domain name for validation).
* Option D ("The web server uses a reverse DNS lookup of the client's IP address"): Incorrect, as reverse DNS lookup resolves an IP to a domain, which is irrelevant for the server determining the requested application.
The correct answer is A, aligning with the CAP syllabus under "Web Server Configuration" and "HTTP Protocol Security."References: SecOps Group CAP Documents - "HTTP Headers," "Virtual Hosting," and
"OWASP Web Security Testing Guide" sections.
