Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: The MITM manager historically generated impersonated certificates using hostnames presented by the upstream server instead of the actual HTTP request host, allowing an attacker to bypass domain authorization constraints.

Insecure TLS: The proxy server historically defaulted to disabling upstream TLS verification during MITM negotiation, implicitly trusting all upstream certificates and exposing traffic to interception.
