Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Information Disclosure: The client library was vulnerable to leaking highly sensitive authorization credentials to external third-party hosts by automatically following cross-host HTTP redirects. This poses a major risk if the client interacts with APIs that redirect to external domains.
Information Disclosure: Sensitive query parameters such as access_token and token were exposed in plaintext in URLs used during errors or logging, which can lead to credentials being permanently captured in application logs.
Credential Leak: GitHub Actions workflows that checkout the repository without explicitly disabling credential persistence leave github tokens exposed on the runner, increasing the risk of credential theft.
