Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: The client context previously configured TLS connections with 'InsecureSkipVerify: true', completely bypassing server-identity validation and exposing Docker API communications to MitM exploits. Developers must ensure all TLS client pathways explicitly enforce certificate verification.
Denial of Service: Unclosed response bodies in transport routines like streamURL allow socket and file descriptor exhaustion. Robust stream closure deferrals must be consistently applied across both standard and hijacked fallback execution paths.
Denial of Service: Network connections and monitoring goroutines leak when event monitoring or connection hijacking is aborted without setting appropriate read deadlines, timeouts, or clean channel exits.
