Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: The authenticator and dynamic route managers suffered from critical flaws including static token reuse, lack of request signature verification, and unauthenticated fallback paths that permitted total API access bypass.
Unbinding to All Interfaces: The core proxy server repeatedly defaulted to binding on all interfaces (0.0.0.0), exposing local development APIs and Ethereum nodes to external network attackers.
Sandbox Escape: Execution of untrusted/dynamic code via Node's default vm context allowed trivial escape to the parent process host, necessitating migration to VM2.
