Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Gaps in identity-to-key linking allowed duplicate key associations, unauthorized secondary key joins, and rotation of primary keys without proper authorization type verification. This directly compromised the core decentralized identifier (DID) trust model.
Auth Bypass: Frozen identities or keys without active Customer Due Diligence (CDD) claims were capable of bypassing validation checks to execute transactions, vote as nominators/validators, or receive disbursements.
Auth Bypass: Validator and nominator selection processes failed to strictly filter out non-CDD compliant nodes or revoked/non-approved validators, allowing malicious or invalid participants to influence block production and staking rewards.
