312-97 Exam Dumps - EC-Council Certified DevSecOps Engineer (ECDE)

Cloning a GitHub repository requires the standard Git command git clone followed by the correct repository URL format. GitHub repositories are structured as https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git, where USERNAME represents the account or organization name and REPOSITORY represents the project name. Option B follows this exact structure. Options using github clone are invalid because github is not a Git CLI command. Options that reverse the order of USERNAME and REPOSITORY do not match GitHub’s repository structure and will fail. Cloning repositories during the Code stage allows DevSecOps engineers to run static analysis, dependency scanning, and other security checks locally without modifying the original repository, supporting secure and controlled analysis workflows.

The command shown in the pre-build phase explicitly targets a script namedwss_agent.sh. The curl -LJO flags mean: -L follows redirects, -J honors the server-provided filename in the Content-Disposition header (when present), and -O writes output to a local file using the remote name. Since the requested path ends with wss_agent.sh, the downloaded file on the AWS CodeBuild server will be wss_agent.sh. This script is the WhiteSource (now commonly referred to as Mend in many environments) unified agent shell wrapper used to run SCA scans as part of a CI pipeline. Integrating SCA during the Build and Test stage helps detect vulnerable open-source dependencies and licensing/compliance issues early, when fixes are cheapest. The other filenames (ssw_agent.sh, cbs_agent.sh, aws_agent.sh) are distractors; they are not referenced by the provided command and would not be downloaded by that step.

GitLab CI/CD pipelines are defined using a configuration file namedgitlab-ci.yml, which must be placed in the root directory of the repository. This file controls pipeline stages, jobs, and template inclusions. To integrate Checkmarx SCA using a predefined template, the template reference must be included in the root-level gitlab-ci.yml file so GitLab can load and execute the defined jobs automatically. The other filenames listed in the options are not recognized by GitLab as valid pipeline configuration files. Integrating SCA at the Code stage allows early detection of vulnerable open-source dependencies, reducing remediation cost and preventing insecure components from progressing further in the DevSecOps pipeline.

When changes are committed to a repository connected to an AWS Pipeline, the pipeline execution is triggered and monitored usingAmazon CloudWatch events. CloudWatch captures pipeline state changes, execution status, and approval notifications, enabling real-time monitoring and alerting. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes, BinSkim is a binary analysis tool, and Security Hub aggregates security findings but does not directly track pipeline execution events. Integrating SonarQube into AWS Pipeline ensures static code analysis runs automatically upon commits, while CloudWatch provides visibility into pipeline activity. This setup strengthens security automation during the Code stage by ensuring every commit is analyzed and monitored.

To inspect mount propagation modes for Docker containers, Rockmond needs to list all container IDs and then inspect their configuration. The docker ps --quiet --all command outputs container IDs only, which are then passed to docker inspect using xargs. The --format option allows extraction of specific fields, such as mount propagation settings. Option C correctly uses valid flags (--quiet --all) and proper formatting syntax. Options A and D incorrectly use single hyphens, and option B omits the equals sign, which is required to display the propagation value. Inspecting mount propagation during the Operate and Monitor stage helps prevent unintended privilege escalation or data modification by other containers, aligning with container hardening best practices.

Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) solutions are classified based on how they interact with the application and runtime environment. In this scenario, the solution uses aweb scannerto actively send requests to the application while also deploying anagent inside the application serverto observe runtime behavior and map vulnerabilities directly to source code locations. This combined approach is known assemi-active IAST. It is considered “semi-active” because it actively drives traffic through the application using a scanner, while the agent passively observes execution paths, data flows, and method calls. Passive IAST solutions rely only on observing existing traffic and do not use scanners, while active IAST solutions do not typically rely on deep runtime agents in the same manner. Semi-active IAST significantly reduces false positives and provides precise remediation details, making it highly effective during the Build and Test stage, where applications are actively exercised and security issues can be identified and fixed before release.

To identify the currently running Java binary used by Jenkins, administrators typically inspect the running processes on the Linux system. The command ps -aux | grep Jenkins lists all active processes and filters those related to Jenkins. This output includes details such as the user, process ID, and the full command line used to start Jenkins, which often contains the path to the Java executable. The other options reference invalid or nonexistent commands (pc, as, ac). Locating the Java binary is necessary when installing certificates into the correct Java keystore, which is required for secure communication between Jenkins and tools like Acunetix. Performing this setup during the Build and Test stage ensures that DAST scans can run securely and reliably as part of automated pipelines.

Git hooks must have executable permissions to run automatically during Git operations such as commits. The standard way to make a file executable on Unix-like systems is by using the chmod command with the +x flag. In Elizabeth’s setup, the pre-commit hook is located in the ~/.git-templates/hooks/ directory, so the correct command is chmod a+x ~/.git-templates/hooks/pre-commit. The a+x option grants execute permission to all users, ensuring that the hook runs regardless of the user context. Options using +e are invalid because e is not a recognized permission flag. Ensuring that the hook is executable during the Code stage helps prevent accidental exposure of AWS credentials by enforcing security checks before commits are finalized.
