Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

CSRF: The chromad web server originally lacked CSRF protection middleware entirely, exposing all state-changing endpoints to unauthorized cross-site requests. This was addressed by introducing explicit CSRF middleware during server initialization. Developers must ensure any new endpoints or altered routing configurations continue to enforce this middleware.

CSRF: A vulnerability in the upstream dependency (gorilla/csrf) utilized by the server allowed attackers to bypass CSRF defenses. Maintaining secure dependency versions for routing and session-handling libraries is critical to preserving the integrity of the application's request-validation mechanisms.
