Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: WalletConnect sign-only requests (eth_signTransaction) were historically broadcast directly to the network instead of returning only the signature to the caller, potentially draining assets without consent.
Cryptographic Issues: Legacy file-based keystores stored private keys using standard disk-based encryption instead of protecting them within hardware-backed mechanisms, increasing the risk of key extraction.
Path Traversal: TokenScript entity definition loading failed to restrict relative directory paths, allowing malicious configurations to read arbitrary files from the application's local sandbox.
