Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service: Deeply nested ASN.1 structures can cause stack overflow crashes during unmarshalling. Enforcing strict structural recursion depth limits is critical to prevent untrusted input from crashing the service.
Denial of Service: Unbounded HTTP request body reading via ioutil.ReadAll allows remote attackers to exhaust server memory. Applying MaxBytesReader constraints is mandatory for all handlers consuming external JSON payloads.
Denial of Service: Mismatched inner and outer signature algorithms in X.509 certificates can lead to signature malleability and validation bypasses, potentially exposing log servers to spam or resource depletion attacks.
