Recurring patterns

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

Information Disclosure: Logging request metadata is prone to credential exposure if the filtering mechanism is bypassed by case-sensitive variants of sensitive HTTP headers. Default configurations should proactively and case-insensitively redact headers such as Authorization, Proxy-Authorization, and Cookie.
Information Disclosure: Explicit transitions to an unauthenticated state (auth().none()) can silently retain previously established Authorization headers on the shared request specification, leading to unintentional credential transmission.
Insecure TLS: Applying certificate-based authentication schemes can inadvertently discard customized truststore configurations, causing the underlying HTTP client SSLSocketFactory to accept invalid or unauthorized server certificates.
