Recurring patterns

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

Cryptographic Weakness: Insecure default configuration for session cookies could expose sensitive session identifiers to client-side scripts if HTTPOnly is not enforced by default. Developers must ensure cookies are strictly restricted to HTTP-only contexts unless explicitly overridden.

Cryptographic Weakness: Improper encoding of string-configured SECRET_KEY values during HMAC initialization can reduce the available entropy of cryptographic signatures. Ensuring a standardized latin1 byte conversion preserves the full raw entropy of configured secrets.
