Recurring patterns

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

Broken Cryptography: The AsyncTransport was ignoring critical security configurations including SSL verification ('verify_ssl') and proxy parameters during client initialization, leaving connections susceptible to Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks. Developers must verify that transport initializations always pass explicit security contexts.
SSRF: Enabling security settings like 'forbid_external' was bypassed during transitive remote fetches via nested xsd:import, xsd:include, or wsdl:import directives. This allows remote hosts to trigger internal HTTP requests despite explicit blocking configurations.
