Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Unauthenticated network handlers in the JSON command processor allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via debugging commands before strict protocol-level token validation was introduced.
Auth Bypass: Lack of mutually verified access tokens allowed unauthorized local or remote endpoints to establish debugging sessions via the core adapter channel.
Auth Bypass: The underlying PyDev command processor accepted connection payloads and ran process-level commands without demanding valid authentication tokens.
