Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: The authentication middleware failed to properly intercept, decode, and verify JWT signatures and validate administrator roles, allowing unauthorized access to protected routes.
Sensitive Data Exposure: The NEXT_PUBLIC_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET was hardcoded in public configuration templates, which allows external actors to forge valid JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and bypass authentication entirely.
Auth Bypass: The password reset route lacked explicit authorization controls, enabling unauthenticated password modifications.
