CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 323

A red team engineer discovers that analyzing multiple pieces of less sensitive public information results in knowledge of a sensitive piece of confidential information. Which of the following best describes this security issue?

Answer options

• A. Inference
• B. Stored procedure
• C. Aggregation
• D. Cross-origin resource sharing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Inference' because it refers to the ability to deduce sensitive information from non-sensitive data. 'Stored procedure' pertains to database operations, 'Aggregation' involves compiling data, and 'Cross-origin resource sharing' is related to web security, none of which directly describe the situation presented.
