Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: The client failed to enforce SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS channel binding during SCRAM authentication, leaving database connections susceptible to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) and authentication relay attacks unless channel binding is explicitly configured and validated.

CWE-297: Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch: User-configured hostname verification settings on SSL options were unconditionally overwritten and disabled in the MSSQL client, permitting successful connections to malicious servers using certificates signed for different hostnames.

Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information: The default SSL mode for MySQL connections was configured to 'DISABLED', allowing sensitive database credentials and queries to be sent over cleartext unless the user explicitly configured encryption.
