Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 172

A bug has been identified in a third-party video library that could expose sensitive user data. Which of the following is the BEST recommendation to address this issue?

Answer options

• A. Perform a full antivirus scan before using the library.
• B. Sanitize any sensitive data in the library.
• C. Patch the vulnerability before using the library.
• D. Require authentication to access the library.

Correct answer: C
