Question 23
Multiuser accounts and shared passwords inherently carry which of the followinq risks?
- A Buffer overflow
- B Race conditions
- C Privilege escalation
- D Unauthorized access
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Multiuser accounts and shared passwords indeed carry significant risks of unauthorized access. With shared passwords, it's challenging to track who accessed the account and when. This lack of visibility can delay detection of unauthorized access. Users of shared accounts may be less vigilant about phishing attempts or social engineering tactics, leading to compromised credentials. Shared passwords often result in broader access privileges than necessary, increasing the potential impact of unauthorized access if credentials are compromised.Discussion
