Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Attackers could inject malicious network events or register spoofed agent identities by completely bypassing token/secret verification on the event gateway, risking total agent-network control. Security relies on mandatory cryptographic verification during agent actions.
Auth Bypass: Without signed certificate-based identity verification, attacker nodes could claim or hijack the identity profiles of legitimate agents during connection or reconnection.
Path Traversal: Arbitrary file writes are possible if user-controlled filenames with relative directory elements are processed without resolving full paths against a strictly-enforced base directory limit. This mirrors the behavior described in CVE-2025-6282.
