Recurring patterns

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

Improper Certificate Validation: The project historically used NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE as a default configuration, leaving HTTP client connections vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. This was resolved by migrating to DefaultHostnameVerifier. New transport or configuration components must avoid reintroducing permissive hostname verifiers.
