Forgotten Check

Does the fix for the vulnerability involve adding a forgotten check?

A "forgotten check" can mean many things. It often manifests as the fix inserting an entire if-statement or a conditional to an existing if-statement. Or a call to a method that checks something.

Example of checks can include:

• null pointer checks
• check the current role, e.g. root
• boundary checks for a number
• consult file permissions
• check a return value
