Recurring patterns

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

XML External Entity (XXE): Insecure XML parsing configurations allowed external entity expansion and DTD loading during WS-Trust and MEX response parsing, risking server-side request forgery and local file access. Developers must use the wrapped SafeDocumentBuilderFactory to secure DocumentBuilder instances.

XML Injection: Unescaped user credentials directly appended to XML builders allowed malicious input to manipulate the structural integrity of the WS-Trust SOAP envelope. XML-escaping of dynamic inputs like usernames and passwords must be consistently applied.

Information Disclosure: Standard application loggers inadvertently recorded highly sensitive OAuth tokens and user-identifiable details. Developers should routing sensitive diagnostic events through designated PII-scrubbing log interfaces.
