Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Providing empty credentials or passing only a password parameter in database lookups could return the first user record in the database, leading to full authentication bypass. Ensuring that lookups fail immediately when no identity keys are provided is critical.

Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type: Vulnerabilities allowed arbitrary code execution via file uploads by bypassing standard .php extension blocklists using .phar, .php7, or .php8 file suffixes during upload validation. Proper validation of client-side extensions and blocking of executing extensions is essential.

SQL Injection: Insufficent validation and dynamic string interpolation in SQL grammar compilation components (specifically MySQL index hints and SQLite schema pragma queries) allowed direct SQL injection. Real parameters must be strictly cast, validated with regex, or parameterized.
