Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Missing signer annotations on protobuf transaction definitions allowed transaction execution without correct signature validation from the Cosmos SDK layer. Ensure all messages intended to be signed carry explicit signer attributes.

Auth Bypass: Processing delayed acknowledgements without verifying that the packet channel matches the registered rollapp channel allowed potential channel spoofing and unauthorized packet processing.

Auth Bypass: A lack of validation matching the client ID to the rollapp's channel state permitted unauthorized actors to freeze arbitrary IBC clients via fraudulent handlers.
