Question

Which of the following vulnerabilities is associated with installing software outside of a manufacturer’s approved software repository?
  • A. Jailbreaking
  • B. Memory injection
  • C. Resource reuse
  • D. Side loading Correct

Explanation

Side loading is installing applications from outside the manufacturer's approved app store or repository, which bypasses the vendor's vetting and can introduce malware. Jailbreaking removes operating system restrictions and often enables side loading, but it is not itself the act of installing outside the store. Memory injection and resource reuse are unrelated vulnerabilities.
