logic flaw

Argument's weak point

A logic flaw is an error in reasoning that undermines an argument or system.

In everyday use, it describes faulty thinking: The logic flaw in his plan was assuming everyone would cooperate.

In computing and security, a logic flaw is a vulnerability arising from how code processes information rather than from technical bugs: Hackers exploited a logic flaw in the authentication system.
