Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Attackers could intercept OTP codes dictated over Twilio voice calls via automated voicemail systems. Requiring user interaction before dictating ensures a real user is present.

Information Disclosure: Generating QR codes by calling the external Google Charts API leaks the raw TOTP secret to a third party. Moving to local QR generation is critical to protect secret keys.

Information Disclosure: Passing TOTP registration secrets in GET query parameters exposes them to server logs, browser histories, and referrer headers. Session-based storage prevents this exposure.
