CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 449

A user would like to install software and features that are not available with a mobile device's default software. Which of the following would all the user to install unauthorized software and enable new features?

Answer options

• A. SQLi
• B. Cross-site scripting
• C. Jailbreaking
• D. Side loading

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Jailbreaking allows users to bypass restrictions imposed by the device's operating system, enabling the installation of unauthorized software and additional features. SQLi and Cross-site scripting are web vulnerabilities and do not relate to mobile device software installation. Side loading is a method to install apps but doesn't necessarily imply the removal of restrictions like jailbreaking does.
