CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 976

Which of the following components of printers and MFDs are MOST likely to be used as vectors of compromise if they are improperly configured?

Answer options

• A. Embedded web server
• B. Spooler
• C. Network interface
• D. LCD control panel

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The embedded web server is often exposed to the network and can be accessed remotely, making it a prime target for attackers if it is not securely configured. While the spooler, network interface, and LCD control panel can also pose risks, they typically do not have the same level of direct external access as the embedded web server.
