ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

Your security team discovers a zero-day vulnerability in a widely-used enterprise software platform that your organization uses. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated code execution. Your team has developed a mitigation but hasn't yet applied it across all systems. What is the most appropriate ethical disclosure approach?

  • Report the vulnerability to regulatory authorities and then contact the vendor

  • Publish technical details of the vulnerability on security blogs and social media to warn users of the software

  • Notify the vendor privately with technical details and allow them time to develop a patch before public disclosure

  • Apply a mitigation to your systems and keep the vulnerability information within your organization
