Fall-through Logic: In programming, fall-through logic occurs in switch-case statements where the absence of a break statement causes the execution to continue from one case into the subsequent case. It’s intentional in certain programming scenarios but should be used cautiously to prevent logic errors. In security, careful design is required to avoid unintended actions from fall-through behavior, especially in authentication or access control decisions.
