The code snippet shows HTML <meta> and <link> tags, along with a <script> tag, loading external resources:

Bootstrap CSS from cdnjs.cloudflare.com (version 4.1.1)

jQuery JavaScript from cdnjs.cloudflare.com (version 3.3.1)

Let’s evaluate the potential vulnerabilities:

The resources are loaded from a third-party CDN (cdnjs.cloudflare.com), and the versions specified (Bootstrap 4.1.1 and jQuery 3.3.1) may have known vulnerabilities. For instance, jQuery 3.3.1 has known XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-2019-11358) that can be exploited if the library is used insecurely. Similarly, Bootstrap 4.1.1 has known issues (e.g., CVE-2018-14041) related to XSS in certain components like tooltips or modals if not configured properly.

The use of outdated or vulnerable third-party components is aComponent with a Known Vulnerability, a common issue in web applications. The CAP syllabus emphasizes identifying and mitigating risks from third-party libraries, especially those with known CVEs.

Option A ("SQL Injection"): SQL injection occurs in server-side database queries, not in client-side HTML or JavaScript loading. This code snippet does not involve database interaction, so this is incorrect.

Option B ("Type Juggling"): Type juggling is a PHP-specific vulnerability where loose type comparison (== vs ===) leads to security issues. This code is HTML/JavaScript, not PHP, so type juggling does not apply.

Option C ("Component with a Known Vulnerability"): As explained, the use of potentially outdated jQuery and Bootstrap versions introduces the risk of known vulnerabilities, making this the most applicable answer.

Option D ("Server-Side Request Forgery"): SSRF involves tricking the server into making unauthorized requests, which is not relevant here as the code loads resources in the browser, not on the server.

The correct answer is C, aligning with the CAP syllabus under "Component Vulnerabilities" and "OWASP Top 10 (A09:2021 - Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities)."References: SecOps Group CAP Documents - "Third-Party Component Security," "Software Supply Chain Security," and "OWASP Top 10" sections.
