Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Incomplete OCSP certificate verification allowed potential authentication bypass because the driver incorrectly assumed the last certificate in the chain was the Certificate Authority (CA), failing to properly identify the actual issuer.

Race Condition: Unsynchronized access to the shared credential cache storage allowed race conditions during concurrent authentication operations, which could lead to corrupted state or cache pollution.
