A Chief Executive Officer has learned that an exploit has been identified on the web server software, and a patch is not available yet. Which of the following attacks MOST likely occurred?
A zero-day (0day) exploit is a cyber attack targeting a software vulnerability which is unknown to the software vendor or to antivirus vendors. The attacker spots the software vulnerability before any parties interested in mitigating it, quickly creates an exploit, and uses it for an attack.
A zero-day attack exploits a vulnerability in software that is unknown to the vendor and for which no patch is available yet. This is a SY0-601 question.
Based on the information provided, it is not possible to determine which specific attack occurred. However, the situation described suggests that the web server may be vulnerable to a zero-day exploit, which is a type of attack that targets a previously unknown vulnerability in software before a patch or fix is available.
A zero-day exploit can be extremely dangerous because it can be used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to a system or steal sensitive information without being detected. When a vulnerability is discovered, software vendors typically work to create and release a patch or update to address the issue. However, in some cases, a patch may not be available for some time, leaving the system vulnerable to attack.
