Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Homoglyphs and Unicode special characters can be used to generate distinct throttle keys, allowing attackers to bypass authentication rate limits and brute-force user accounts.
Auth Bypass: Failing to initialize critical session variables (like password confirmation timestamps) upon login can allow attackers to bypass subsequent password confirmation middleware checks.
Session Fixation: Failing to regenerate the CSRF token on user logout leaves shared terminals vulnerable to session fixation and cross-site request forgery attacks.
