Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service: Malformed or odd-length token strings can trigger unhandled binascii.Error exceptions during token decoding/hashing, crashing the request and leading to denial of service instead of returning a 401 Unauthorized response.
Timing Attack: Using standard string equality comparisons (==) when validating token digests exposes the application to timing attacks, potentially allowing an attacker to reconstruct valid tokens byte-by-byte.
