Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Unsafe handling of invalid credentials or usernames in the token generation flow could result in a NullReferenceException or unauthorized token issuance, bypassing standard authentication checks.
Auth Bypass: Two-factor authentication recovery codes could be regenerated via HTTP GET requests without proper anti-forgery validation, exposing users to cross-site request forgery (CSRF/anti-forgery bypass) and elevation of privilege (CVE-2018-0784 / CVE-2018-0785).
Insecure Direct Object Reference: Failure to validate that anonymous basket identifiers in cookies were cryptographically strong GUIDs allowed attackers to manipulate or transfer arbitrary shopping baskets.
