Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Prior to mitigation, WebSocket connection requests bypassed the global api_key verification, leaving the real-time transcription service exposed to unauthorized access even when authentication was explicitly configured for REST endpoints.
Denial of Service: PyAudio input buffer overflows would trigger exceptions that crashed the client or terminated the recording stream, leading to a local denial of service during high-load audio streaming.
