Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Asynchronous identity verification checks were not properly awaited, permitting write operations to proceed without valid cryptographic verification. Developers must ensure all async signature and identity checks are fully resolved before granting write privileges.
Auth Bypass: Flawed delegation within the identity verification system resulted in infinite recursion rather than executing actual signature validation. Any refactoring of signature verification wrappers must explicitly delegate to the core KeyStore validator.
Auth Bypass: Access control checks historically verified only if an identity was present in an access list without enforcing cryptographic signature validation on the operation, allowing forged identity claims.
