CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 403

Which of the following can be used to compromise a system that is running an RTOS?

Answer options

• A. Cross-site scripting
• B. Memory injection
• C. Replay attack
• D. Ransomware

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Memory injection is a technique that can directly manipulate the memory of an RTOS, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The other options, while they pose threats to various systems, do not specifically target the unique characteristics of RTOS environments in the same way that memory injection does.
