Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Inconsistent or out-of-order execution of request customization can bypass strict Host-to-URI authority matching, leading to request routing anomalies or security filter bypasses. This risk is mitigated by moving compliance checks late in the lifecycle after all customizers finish modifying the request.
Denial of Service: Integer overflow and lack of resource limits in chunk size parsing allow attackers to consume excessive CPU or memory. Robust bounds validation, digit limits, and checking for arithmetic overflow during size calculations are critical safeguards.
Auth Bypass: Improper handling of mandatory authentication properties in the JASPI MessageInfo map during request validation can lead to silent authentication bypasses under specific routing configurations.
