Explanation:
A supply chain attack occurs when a threat actor compromises a third-party vendor or partner that an organization relies on. The attack is then propagated to the organization through trusted connections or software updates.
Reason for Lack of Indicators of Compromise (IoCs):
The attack often occurs upstream (at a vendor), so the compromised organization may not detect any direct signs of breach.
Trusted Components: Malicious code or backdoors may be embedded in trusted software updates or services.
Real-World Example: The SolarWinds breach, where attackers compromised the software build pipeline, affecting numerous organizations without direct IoCs on their systems.
Why Not the Other Options:
B. Zero-day attack: Typically leaves some traces or unusual behavior.
C. injection attack: Usually detectable through web application monitoring.
D. Man-in-the-middle attack: Often leaves traces in network logs. CCOA Official Review Manual, 1st Edition

The attack described involves injecting arbitrary syntax that is executed by the underlying operating system, characteristic of a Command Injection attack.
Nature of Command Injection:
Direct OS Interaction: Attackers input commands that are executed by the server’s OS.
Vulnerability Vector: Often occurs when user input is passed to system calls without proper validation or sanitization.
Examples: Using characters like ;, &&, or | to append commands.
Common Scenario: Exploiting poorly validated web application inputs that interact with system commands (e.g., ping, dir).
Other options analysis:
B. Injection: Targets databases, not the underlying OS.
C. LDAP Injection: Targets LDAP directories, not the OS.
D. Insecure direct object reference: Involves unauthorized access to objects through predictable URLs, not OS command execution.

정답:
Explanation:
Even when a database environment is encrypted at rest and in transit, data theft can still occur due to misconfigured access control lists (ACLs).
Why ACL Misconfiguration Is Likely:
Access Permissions: If ACLs are not correctly configured, unauthorized users might gain access despite encryption.
Insider Threats: Legitimate users with excessive permissions can misuse access.
Access via Compromised Accounts: If user accounts with broad ACL permissions are compromised,
encryption alone will not protect data.
Encryption Is Not Enough: Encryption protects data in transit and at rest, but once decrypted for use, weak ACLs can expose the data.
Other options analysis:
A. Group rights for access: Not as directly related as misconfigured ACLs.
B. Improper backup procedures: Would affect data recovery, not direct access.
D. Insufficiently strong encryption: Data was accessed, indicating a permission issue, not weak encryption.
CCOA Official Review Manual, 1st Edition
Reference: Chapter 7: Access Control and Data Protection: Discusses the importance of proper ACL configurations.
Chapter 9: Database Security Practices: Highlights common access control pitfalls.
정답:
Explanation:
Discretionary Access Control (DAC) allows users or data owners to modify access permissions for resources they own.
Owner-Based Permissions: The resource owner decides who can access or modify the resource.
Flexibility: Users can grant, revoke, or change permissions as needed.
Common Implementation: File systems where owners set permissions for files and directories.
Risk: Misconfigurations can lead to unauthorized access if not properly managed.
Other options analysis:
A. Mandatory Access Control (MAC): Permissions are enforced by the system, not the user.
B. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Access is based on roles, not user discretion.
D. Rule-Based Access Control: Permissions are determined by predefined rules, not user control.
