Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Misconfiguration of VRaptor interceptor lifecycle annotations (such as choosing the incorrect phase or omitting annotations altogether) repeatedly prevented the AuthorizationInterceptor from executing, silently disabling route authentication.
Bypass of Security Controls: Logical inversions in core validation logic and controllers allowed invalid inputs and unauthorized mutations to pass checks, registering errors only when expressions evaluated to true instead of false.
Auth Bypass: Failing to explicitly return execution control following a redirect command allowed unauthenticated requests to continue execution downstream in the interceptor chain.
