Q1 Incomplete mediation is another vulnerability that has existed for decade. This vulnerability occurs when the developers of a system use values in the definition of the program such that adversaries can change the values to wrong values, or users enter the values incorrectly leading to a massive failure of the entire system. NASA’s mars orbiter crashed into mars because the engineers failed to convert English to metric measurements during the exchange of vital data. The navigation team used meters
