Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Attackers can spoof incoming Spark (Webex) webhooks and trigger unauthorized bot behaviors if signature verification is bypassed or not strictly enforced.
Authentication Bypass: Failure to verify incoming Slack request tokens allows unauthenticated external actors to trigger administrative slash commands and interactive actions.
Auth Bypass: Extracting the authentication token from the wrong level of a nested JSON payload can cause verification to fail or be skipped entirely, leaving interactive endpoints vulnerable.
