Recurring patterns

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

Improper Certificate Validation: Incomplete initialization of the SSL context could lead to TLS connections being established without proper certificate validation, exposing clients to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. Ensuring unconditional parameters initialization is critical.

Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information: Requesting an SSL connection through a driver that does not support it (such as hiredis) can result in silent fallback to unencrypted cleartext transmission if not explicitly blocked with a NotImplementedError.
