Recurring patterns

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

Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information: The proxy logic historically defaulted to unencrypted HTTP when routing backend connections, regardless of the target URL configuration, risking exposure of sensitive user data over unencrypted transit.
CORS Misconfiguration: Response headers forwarded by the proxy were appended rather than replaced, potentially resulting in duplicated or conflicting Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers that weaken browser-side cross-origin policies.
