**OWASP:** Security Misconfiguration (A05:2021-Security Misconfiguration) - #5

## Description

An integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation attempts to create a numeric value that is outside of the range that can be represented with a given number of bits. This can lead to buffer overflows, incorrect financial calculations, or security bypasses.

## Prevention

Estrategias de prevención para Integer Overflow basadas en 1 reglas de detección de Shoulder.

### Python

Validate numeric bounds before arithmetic operations on user input

## Warning Signs

- [LOW] potential integer overflow in numeric operations

## Consequences

- DoS
- Ejecutar código no autorizado
- Modificar datos de la aplicación

## Mitigations

- Usa lenguajes o bibliotecas que verifiquen el desbordamiento de enteros
- Verifica que las entradas estén dentro de los rangos esperados
- Usa funciones aritméticas seguras que verifiquen el desbordamiento

## Detection

- Total rules: 3
- Languages: go, javascript, typescript, python

## Rules by Language

### Python (1 rules)

- **Integer Overflow / Large Number Handling** [LOW]: Detects potential integer overflow in numeric operations.
  - Remediation: Validate numeric bounds before arithmetic operations.

```python
from flask import request, jsonify

@app.route('/calculate')
def calculate():
    count = int(request.args.get('count', 0))
    if count < 0 or count > 10000:
        return jsonify({'error': 'Invalid count'}), 400

    result = count * unit_price
    return jsonify({'total': result})
```
