Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Storage engine failures could lead to empty token lists, allowing unauthorized clients to bypass whitelist-mode access controls when has_valid_cookie? fails silently or returns an incorrect state. Developers must ensure storage failures fail-closed.

Reflected XSS: Raw SQL query strings rendered in the MiniProfiler user interface without proper output encoding can lead to arbitrary HTML and script execution. Escaping SQL queries before UI presentation is vital.

Information Disclosure: MiniProfiler snapshots and SQL command formatting can leak sensitive query parameters, credentials, or schema information unless explicitly redacted at the serialization or sampling layer.
