Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Insecure Deserialization: Using standard SnakeYAML constructors on untrusted or user-supplied configuration payloads can allow attackers to instantiate arbitrary Java classes, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE).
Auth Bypass: Improper processing of PBKDF2 hash lengths can allow malformed requests or specialized credential payloads to bypass authentication verification steps entirely.
Denial of Service: Incorrect memory accounting during cache eviction (subtracting the wrong credential size) and unbounded cache limits allow remote attackers to exhaust heap space, triggering OutOfMemory errors.
