Which technique is used to block vulnerability exploit attacks?

• A. Code Injection
• B. Code Injection Protection
• C. Block Mode
• D. Network Attack Protection

Answer: (A)

Blocking vulnerability exploit attempts relies on preventing injected code from running. Code Injection Protection is the mechanism that specifically targets these exploits by detecting and stopping injected payloads or suspicious data that try to alter a program’s execution. When an attacker tries to insert malicious code into a vulnerable application, this protection blocks that code before it can execute, reducing the chance of a successful exploit. By focusing on how data could be used to inject and run unauthorized code, this approach directly addresses the method attackers use to exploit vulnerabilities. The other options describe either the attack itself or different protection layers (network-wide protections) rather than the endpoint-focused defense against code-injection exploits.
