-## 2024-07-12 - Fix missing parameter validations
-**Vulnerability:** Unvalidated inputs passed to `if()` statements can cause process crashes (`condition has length > 1`) or unexpected coercion vulnerabilities.
-**Learning:** In R, optional boolean parameters that default to `NULL` should be validated using explicit runtime type validation (e.g., `if (!is.null(flag) && (!is.logical(flag) || length(flag) != 1 || is.na(flag)))`).
-**Prevention:** Always implement explicit runtime type validation for optional boolean parameters.
+## 2024-10-25 - Prevent DoS from integer overflow in readline
+**Vulnerability:** Interactive prompts using `readline()` validated inputs with `grepl("^[0-9]+$", n)`.
+**Learning:** Large numeric strings pass this regex but cause integer overflow (returning `NA`) when passed to `as.integer()`, leading to application crashes (DoS risk).
+**Prevention:** Use exact-match validation like `n %in% c("1", "2")` for predefined option sets instead of regex checks.
