Which vulnerability category focuses on flaws in browser software that attackers exploit?

• A. Script-Based Attacks
• B. Web Browser Vulnerabilities
• C. Malware Classification
• D. Network Segmentation

Answer: (B)

Flaws within the browser software itself are being described here—the weaknesses in the browser code, rendering engines, or plugins that an attacker can abuse to run code, steal data, or take control of a system. That focus is exactly what “Web Browser Vulnerabilities” captures, naming the vulnerability category by the target of the weakness: the browser.

Script-based attacks rely on exploiting scripts (like JavaScript) to cause harm, but they don’t specify that the vulnerability lies in the browser software itself; they’re more about the technique. Malware classification is about identifying what kind of malware is involved, not the specific vulnerability class. Network segmentation is a defensive strategy, not a vulnerability category.
