prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper input validation and range checks that prevent missing minimum bounds.

finds

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect missing minimum checks through boundary-value and fuzz testing.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and boundary checks that would catch missing minimum-range verification.

prevents

Application security requirements include explicit validation rules for numeric ranges, directly addressing the missing minimum check.

prevents

Secure system architecture principles require defensive input handling and range validation to prevent out-of-bounds values.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid numeric comparisons that omit the lower bound, directly mitigating CWE-839.
