Recurring patterns

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

Credential Leak: Sensitive authentication tokens (headers.authorization) can be inadvertently sent to incorrect hosts if credentials are loaded or transmitted based on a generic registry URI rather than the specific, fully-validated target URI. This can lead to credential exposure during redirects or requests to third-party mirrors.
