Recurring patterns

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

Denial of Service: Unbounded websocket reading historically led to severe memory exhaustion. Secure bounds must be enforced on websocket frame and message sizes.
Auth Bypass: Incomplete JWT signature verification and missing algorithm verification allowed request validation to be completely bypassed.
Path Traversal: Arbitrary file read vulnerabilities allowed attackers to escape path bounds when loading certificates and CA files, requiring strict path canonicalization checks.
