Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Flawed control flow (failing to return early on errors) and incorrect state tracking of connection counters/cached credentials in SCRAM allowed invalid logins to succeed.

Auth Bypass: Failing to check MongoDB-returned error fields and tracking mixed-success sessions erroneously validated invalid credentials in MongoCR.

Auth Bypass: SSPI validation was bypassed when responding with null or non-object payloads due to weak response verification.
