Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Using a shared, JVM-wide default authenticator for HTTP-based vBucket configuration leads to credential caching and potential leakage across concurrent connection threads. Attackers could exploit this state sharing to bypass authentication boundaries.

Auth Bypass: Operations queued during connection initialization or reconnection could execute before SASL authentication completed. Ensuring strict latch-based blocking of queues during negotiation is critical to prevent unauthenticated data operations.
