Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Signature Forgery: The ECDSA implementation failed to validate hashes correctly, permitting signature forgery when empty hashes were evaluated. Developers must ensure that all cryptographic sign/verify routines strictly reject empty or zero-length input digests.
Auth Bypass: TLS session resumption bypassed critical validation checks (including certificate expiration, full chain validation, and matching configured trust pools/roots). This allowed expired or invalid credentials to successfully resume active TLS connections.
Path Traversal: On Windows, file cleaning and path validation failed to account for NT device namespaces, relative drive-letter transitions, and trailing slashes relative to a root. This allowed path traversal outside sandbox roots via specialized Windows path syntax.
