Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Password reset token validation was not scoped to specific user IDs, allowing globally valid tokens to be verified and accepted for any user account. Developers must ensure token lookups always scope verification to the associated user ID.
Race Condition: Storing form data in shared route structs created a concurrency hazard where multiple concurrent requests could overwrite state. All request-specific data must reside in local variables or request contexts rather than shared struct fields.
Auth Bypass: The lack of user email normalization allowed users to register duplicate accounts or potentially bypass lookup filters via mixed-case variations. Application of mutation hooks to force lowercase emails solves this.
