Recurring patterns

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

SSRF: The dashboard initiates outbound HTTP requests to registered cluster machines using client parameters. Without strict host validation, attackers can coerce the Sentinel Dashboard into routing requests to arbitrary internal network locations.

Auth Bypass: Updating authority rules previously used a non-atomic clear-then-insert sequence, creating a race condition window where incoming requests could bypass authority checks because the rules list temporarily appeared empty.

SSRF: The machine registration endpoint permitted registering arbitrary host addresses, exposing downstream dashboard components that interact with registered machines to targeted SSRF vectors.
