The C standard explicitly
allows one to access one element beyond the end of an array to
support common practice in thousands of C programs. The C
standard indicates that accessing more than one beyond the end
of an array leads to undefined behavior.

As I remember it, you are allowed to use the address of the element
one past the end of the array in a comparison with the addresses of
other elements of the same array, but not to access its content?
