Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: The server could process signed protobuf messages without confirming that the message sender's public key matched the connected client's authenticated identity, leading to identity spoofing.
Auth Bypass: Handshake signatures and public keys were verified without enforcing strict length checks, creating potential avenues for authentication bypass due to malformed cryptographic inputs.
Signature Malleability / Bypass: The lack of public key size validation before calling the underlying Ed25519 verification function could allow malformed or unexpected key sizes to bypass signature checks.
