Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Flaws in JWS processing allowed authentication bypass due to a lack of signature verification utilities and the exposure of internal mutable state (like certificates and raw signature bytes).
Insecure TLS: In Android environments, the transport layer bypassed hostname verification during SSL socket creation, exposing client connections to potential Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.
Insecure File Permissions: Insecure file store permissions, particularly on Windows platforms, and silent failures when applying permission restrictions could allow unauthorized local users to access cached credentials and data.
