Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Routing logic relied on vulnerable URI parsing patterns (getRequestURI) and skipped session validation, allowing remote attackers to bypass endpoint authentication checks. This pattern was also found in direct endpoints like /find-issues and /upload-issues.
Sandbox Escape: Untrusted JSR-305 custom validators can escape isolation if the custom SecurityManager or classloader configurations are bypassed or improperly managed when integrated with third-party environments like Eclipse.
Auth Bypass: Control flow defects, such as missing return statements after authentication failures, allowed unauthenticated or failed OpenID sessions to bypass downstream validation checks entirely.
