Sebb commented on VALIDATOR-336:
--------------------------------
A further problem with CUSIP validation is that the length is not checked at
all.
CUSIP is supposed to be 9 characters including the check digit.
However, both longer and shorter strings are accepted.
> CUSIPCheckDigit Thinks Invalid CUSIP is Valid

> Key: VALIDATOR-336
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-336
> Project: Commons Validator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Josh Meyer
> Attachments: CUSIPCheckDigit.java.patch, CusipValidatorTest.java,
> CusipValidatorTest_v2.java, VALIDATOR-336.patch
>
>
> When testing if a specific CUSIP is valid using
> org.apache.commons.validator.routines.checkdigit.CUSIPCheckDigit.CUSIP_CHECK_DIGIT.isValid,
> a call to this returns true when it should return false. A specific example
> is with the following invalid CUSIP: DUS0421CW.
> What seems to be happening is when toInt is called on W it turns it to an int
> value and then sends it to weightedValue. This is fine for the first 8
> characters of a CUSIP, but not the check digit. The expected result should be
> to return false because the check digit is a letter (on a CUSIP a check digit
> must be 0-9).
> With the current implementation, I believe each CUSIP can have up to 4 valid
> check digits.
> A test is attached.
