Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Concurrent requests mutating a shared Client.Kite.Username pointer allowed the username validation controls to be bypassed. Additionally, failing to explicitly check the parsed token.Valid flag allowed forged JWTs to bypass authentication.
Auth Bypass: JWT parsing did not restrict cryptographic signature validation to the expected RSA algorithm, exposing the platform to algorithm switching bypasses. JWT validation also failed to enforce trust-boundary constraints, such as validating the issuer's identity.
Denial of Service: A lack of synchronization on shared maps (such as kontrol.clients, s.callbacks, and p.kites) led to concurrent write panics and process crashes under load.
