Recurring patterns

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

Denial of Service: Missing bounds checks on incoming ciphertext during decryption allow malformed payloads to trigger rust panic-induced denial of service. Decryption routines must explicitly check payload length bounds against the nonce and auth tag sizes.
Denial of Service: Congestion control algorithms are vulnerable to panics from underflow and overflow operations (e.g. during subtraction or multiplicative scaling of in-flight values). Safety checks are required prior to mathematical manipulation of flight values.
Sensitive Data Exposure: Sensitive HTTP authorization tokens and exchange rate structures risk plaintext exposure if persisted directly to Redis. Cryptographic encryption and HMAC hashing must be enforced before storage.
