Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Broken Cryptography: Incomplete SSL/TLS validation when performing REST requests allows man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks if hostname verification or peer verification are bypassed. This risk requires explicit enforcement of VERIFY_PEER and post-connection checks.
Broken Cryptography: An outdated root certificate authority bundle risks trusting revoked, weak, or compromised certificates. The trust store must be regularly updated to match modern Mozilla releases to avoid trusting invalid entities.
