-
Which of the following represents an exploitable, unpatched, and unmitigated weakness in software?
vulnerability
A vulnerability is a susceptibility to a threat that exists in a system that has not been mitigated. Patching would be a form of mitigation if it were used to address the vulnerability
exploit
When a security weakness or vulnerability exists in a system and threat actor takes advantage, the attack is considered an exploit. An example of a vulnerability is keeping ports
open for nonessential services.
threat
A threat is an external danger to which a system may or may not be vulnerable. Is it a potential danger that could take advantage of a system it is vulnerable. An attacker picking
the lock of the back entrance to a facility is an example of a threat, not a vulnerability.
