Question 10

Which of the following is MOST important to include in the final report of a static application-security test that was written with a team of application developers as the intended audience?

    Correct Answer: D

    In a static application-security test, the goal is to identify vulnerabilities in the source code. Given that the intended audience is a team of application developers, it is crucial to provide detailed and actionable information that developers can use to address the identified security issues. Therefore, including the code context for instances of unsafe typecasting operations is most important. This provides developers with the specific lines of code where vulnerabilities are found, making it easier for them to understand and fix these issues, thereby improving the application's security.

Discussion
RRabbitOption: D

D. Code context for instances of unsafe typecasting operations A static application-security test is a method of evaluating the security of an application's source code without executing it. The final report of such a test should be written for the intended audience, in this case, it's a team of application developers. The most important information that should be included in the final report is the details of the vulnerabilities found, and how to fix them. This includes providing the code context for instances of unsafe typecasting operations, that is, providing the specific lines of code where the vulnerabilities were found, and describing the specific issue that needs to be addressed. An executive summary of the penetration-testing methods used, bill of materials including supplies, subcontracts, and costs incurred during assessment, and quantitative impact assessments given a successful software compromise are important information, but they are not as relevant as providing the code context and specific recommendations on how to fix the vulnerabilities found.

D is the answer, no doubt

ryanzouOption: D

D for sure

nickwen007Option: D

the code context for instances of unsafe typecasting operations. This will help the developers to understand the potential security risks and enable them to make the necessary changes to their code.

pi123Option: D

I think Devs are interested in code analysis.

Chemical2007Option: D

I believe the answer should be D, developers would be interested in knowing the wrong code instances used

Etc_Shadow28000Option: D

The most important element to include in the final report of a static application-security test intended for a team of application developers is: D. Code context for instances of unsafe typecasting operations Explanation: D. Code context for instances of unsafe typecasting operations: • Developers need actionable insights to understand and remediate vulnerabilities. Including code context for instances of unsafe typecasting operations will provide them with specific examples and locations within the codebase where issues occur. This information is crucial for developers to quickly identify, understand, and fix the vulnerabilities in their application.

solutionzOption: D

In the context of a static application-security test, and with the report intended for a team of application developers, the content should focus on details that are relevant to the development team's understanding of the security issues found in the code. Among the options, the one that is most directly relevant to developers would be the details about specific code-level issues. Option D, "Code context for instances of unsafe typecasting operations," provides specific, actionable information that developers can use to understand and fix the problems in the code. The details about the specific code problems, such as unsafe typecasting operations, would enable the developers to directly address the vulnerabilities discovered in the static analysis. So the correct answer to this question would be: D. Code context for instances of unsafe typecasting operations.
