Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Lack of schema validation on blank/missing email and password fields, combined with unreturned mongoose pre-save hook calls, allows critical authentication flows to bypass state verification and execute database updates without validation.
Auth Bypass: Faulty flow control in passport third-party OAuth setups (Facebook and Google) permits execution to continue and establish active sessions even when database save operations fail or return errors.
Information Disclosure: Serializing mongoose model objects without proper database projections exposed sensitive parameters (e.g., password hashes) due to filtering for 'password' instead of 'hashedPassword'.
