Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Cryptographic Issues: Incorrect processing of non-12-byte Initialization Vectors (IV) in AES-GCM can lead to keystream reuse, undermining the fundamental security properties of the cipher and allowing attackers to decrypt sensitive ciphertext.
Information Disclosure: The use of uninitialized memory buffers (via raw Buffer constructors or uninitialized allocations) for stream cipher padding leaks sensitive system memory to the cipher output, exposing system secrets.
