Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Session tokens used incorrect timestamp scales (milliseconds instead of seconds) for validation and generation, causing expiration calculations to deviate drastically from specification and allowing expired tokens to be accepted.

Weak Cryptography: Allowing short JWT secrets can expose session tokens to rapid brute-forcing attacks, compromising the identity and sessions of all application users.

Access Control: An incorrect subnet mask definition (treating IPv6 subnets as IPv4 sizes) allowed unauthorized network ranges to bypass API key restriction limits.
