Improper management of physical access to a resource, such as a file, can lead to what type of security vulnerability?
- Weaknesses in security practices
- Race conditions
- Access control problems
- Buffer overflow
- Non-validated input
Explanation: Access control involves managing who can access resources, ranging from physical access to equipment to dictating who can read or change a file. Improper management of these controls creates security vulnerabilities because an attacker with physical access can bypass standard operating system protections to read data directly from a disk.
