Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Path Traversal: Lexical path validation failures historically allowed directory traversal and symlink escape out of the Home Assistant configuration directory. Ensuring absolute path resolution prior to containment checks remains a critical invariant.
Auth Bypass: Shared global WebSocket client connections previously allowed cross-client OAuth credential leakage and access bypasses, highlighting the necessity of cryptographically hashed, isolated connection pools per identity.
Auth Bypass: Lack of cryptographic signatures on stateless OAuth tokens permitted client-side forgery and privilege escalation until HMAC-SHA256 verification was introduced.
