Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Attackers could bypass JWT signature verification altogether during token refresh cycles or forge administrative tokens due to hardcoded fallback secrets. Ensuring proper signature verification and runtime-generated fallback secrets is critical.
Auth Bypass: Path canonicalization issues and resource resolution flaws in the authorization middleware allowed attackers to bypass RBAC checks by crafting specific URL path structures.
Authentication Bypass: API key validation logic allowed empty or mismatched values to satisfy credential checks, presenting an extremely high risk of unauthorized administrative access.
