Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: The SASL authentication client completed handshakes without validating the server's identity or challenge payloads, which could allow a malicious server to bypass authentication entirely.
Improper Certificate Validation: Failure to provide host and port parameters during SSL engine initialization or disabling hostname verification by default allowed potential Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.
Information Disclosure: Sensitive database commands containing credentials, particularly within speculative authentication payloads, were logged in plaintext, exposing them to unauthorized local users or log aggregation tools.
