Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: In-memory OAuth state listeners and token storage historically lacked isolation by Resource Owner ID or configuration name, leading to race conditions and multi-tenant credential overwriting in clustered environments.
Sandbox Escape: Unprivileged deployed modules and applications could bypass sandbox limits by obtaining parent classloader references or importing privileged packages (such as SerializationUtils), exposing internal container APIs.
Auth Bypass: Attackers can bypass security boundaries and downstream controls by injecting properties into the inbound HTTP request headers which the engine incorrectly promoted into the outbound property scope.
